COMPOSITION FOR COATING SUBSTRATE TO PREVENT STICKING

摘要

A release agent composition to prevent sticking and facilitate separation of surfaces, such as patterns and core boxes from foundry molds and cores comprises (a) a styrene-diene block copolymer; (b) a functional silicone; (c) a solvent; and optionally, one or both of (d) a catalyst and (e) a crosslinking agent. Further is provided a method to facilitate separation of a workpiece from a substrate comprising applying the release agent composition to a surface of the workpiece, the substrate or both. In one particular embodiment, the method improves the release of a mold or a core from a pattern or a core box.
