Zyvax Flex-Z 3.0

Zyvax Flex-Z 3.0 is a solvent‑based, semi‑permanent release agent with medium slip—ideal for large hulls and flat areas. Part of the Flex‑Z slipcoat system, it reduces prep time, prevents styrene build‑up and supports excellent tape adhesion.

Applications

Composite Moulding

Zyvax Flex‑Z 3.0 is used as a solvent‑based semi‑permanent release agent when a medium slip level is required – especially on large hulls and flat mould areas where consistent release and tape performance matter. In typical mould prep, remove previous waxes/oils using a suitable Zyvax mould and part cleaner, and apply a sealer such as Zyvax Sealer GP where required (new or freshly repaired moulds typically need sealing). For application, you can wipe-on/leave-on or spray using an HVLP set-up so the coating goes on as a dry spray with no wet areas. Build performance with multiple coats, allowing 15 minutes cure between coats, then wait at least 15 minutes before using the mould. For touch-ups, apply a single coat, wait 15 minutes, and continue processing.

Key Features

FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
Medium Slip for Large Hulls & Flat Areas
Flex‑Z 3.0 is positioned as the standard medium-slip choice for large hulls and flat areas, helping control release across big tooling surfaces.
Adjustable Slipcoat Control (Targeted Release)
The Flex‑Z system lets you flex up or down the slip scale to tune release levels, and even treat different mould sections with different slipcoats for optimum results.
Reduces Prep Time & Predictable Release
Formulated for polyester-moulding environments to reduce preparation time, eliminate sag, and provide more predictable release across minimum-to-maximum slip needs.
Excellent Tape Adhesion & Reduced Styrene Build-Up
Designed to promote excellent tape adhesion and help prevent styrene build-up, supporting cleaner tools and better process control.
High Thermal Stability & Low Odour
Listed with thermal stability to 480°C (900°F) and low odour, supporting demanding moulding environments.
Fast, Versatile Application (Wipe or Spray)
Supports fast, easy application by wipe-on/leave-on or HVLP dry spray, with straightforward recoating and touch-up guidance.
