| Minimal Build-Up | Excellent release characteristics that minimizing residue on mandrels and on the inside diameter of finished hoses. |
| Hose Dimension Integrity | Prevent defects such as pitting, pin-holes, blooming or swelling of the inside diameter. |
| Silicone, Fluorine, and Solvent free | Products do not contain any materials that will affect the post production testing performance of critical hose systems for customers who have component specific demands for mandrel release. |
| Washing Characteristics | Excellent washing and anti-foaming characteristics, which will breakdown easily and safely in normal drainage systems. |
| Temperature Stability | Stable at high temperatures for the most demanding hose production situations |
Pan Cure Release Characteristics for Hose and Tube
- Excellent anti-tack and anti-blocking characteristics for cured and uncured hoses.
