Honey Wax Mold Release

Mold Release

As a world leader in composite solutions, our mold release agents are second to none. Stoner Molding Solutions offers water and solvent-based mold releases in semi-permanent and sacrificial release systems. We also have an extensive line of paste wax mold release, such as Honey Wax® and Miracle Gloss® M8.

With the right mold release for your carbon fiber fabric, sheet metal compounding (SMC), filament winding, or another type of composite molding, you can release more parts in less time while decreasing buildup and improving part appearance.

KantStik Cure Fast

Mold Cleaner

The key to an efficient and defect-free finished composite part is to start with a clean mold. Our cleaning solutions can help you effectively remove oil, grease, wax, and buildup from your mold surfaces, brushes, and equipment. It can also decrease the time you need to clean the molds between cycles, helping to improve your productivity.

By properly preparing the mold surface before applying mold release, the mold release agent can properly bond to the mold surface, improving its performance. Try our KantStik line of mold cleaners and releases for an exceptional combination.

A612 Short Term Rust Preventive

Rust Prevention

If you ever pulled a mold out of storage or received a mold from a manufacturer and found rust on its surface, you know how challenging it can be to get rid of it. Your mold surface needs to be completely clean and corrosion-free before being used.

But if you treat your molds with our rust preventatives, you can eliminate the time-consuming step of removing rust before production. We offer short-term (overnight or weekend), medium-term (six months), and long-term (1 year+) rust prevention solutions. Many of these products also work off during the first production cycle, so there’s no start-up cleaning needed.

A194 Penetrating Lubricant w/ PTFE Protection

Lubricants

Your composite molding surface isn’t the only part of your molding operation that needs some assistance. When opening or closing the mold, your molding machine may squeak and make a noise or stick. Lubricants from Stoner Molding Solutions can solve these problems and more!

Not only do they prevent sticking, binding, and squeaks, but they also help reduce friction and wear, extending the life of your molding machine. We have food-grade lubricants and penetrating lubricants to get between close-tolerance points to loosen rust, corrosion, dirt, and scale quickly.

Produce a Consistent Surface Finish

An inconsistent surface finish may affect the function of the product you’re molding, especially for high-value clients like the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Don’t compromise your composite mold results with inferior molding products. Instead, choose Stoner’s composite solutions for a consistent surface finish.
