Mould Release

To complement our range of advanced composite products, PRF has developed Qiicote® Mould Release technologies for thermoset and thermoplastic composites. The Qiicote® range of products offers hard-wearing release films giving multiple releases, with variable slip with a high gloss finish, with no contaminating transfer and a low cost per part.

 

The range includes cleaners, sealer, a variety of semi-permanent release agents, including water-based agents, and special products such as an internal mould release agent and Silicone Shield, specially formulated to preserve silicone bags and seals. Products can be applied by hand or sprayed.
