How it works

Why barrier performance starts with the right wax

A mold release wax must form a reliable barrier between the substrate and the mold surface. Key performance requirements include:

  • Complete adhesion prevention between part and mold
  • Protection of the mold surface from damage and buildup
  • Consistent release with minimal residue transfer
  • Thermal stability at processing temperatures
  • Compatibility with different substrate materials

Hywax Fischer-Tropsch waxes are specifically formulated for mold release, combining high purity, low viscosity at application temperature, and excellent barrier properties.
