MOLYKOTE 316 Silicone Release Fluid
MOLYKOTE 316 Silicone Release Fluid is a versatile, heat-stable silicone anti-stick spray for preventing adhesion problems in various industries. MOLYKOTE 316 Silicone Release Fluid is a silicone-based anti-stick spray designed to prevent sticking and adhesion issues across a wide range of applications. Its heat stability and resistance to oxidation make it particularly suitable for demanding environments such as food and beverage processing, high-speed rotary letterpress printing, and the bindery industry. The spray forms a thin, protective silicone film that facilitates easy release of materials from treated surfaces.
Application is straightforward: simply spray a thin coat onto clean surfaces, allowing approximately three minutes for drying. The spray can also be buffed onto metal surfaces using a hand buffer. For optimal performance with heat-sealing units, a break-in period at full operating temperature is recommended after application. The resulting silicone film exhibits low volatility at temperatures up to 199 C (390 F), ensuring long-lasting release properties.
