Chemlease 2185 Release Agent

Chemlease 2185 Release Agent is a room‑temperature curing semi‑permanent release for composites, including polyester moulding. It’s a ready‑to‑use liquid dispersion that delivers easy, multiple releases without extended cure. Apply 5 coats, let it haze then buff to a high gloss. Best at 18–27°C and don’t leave haze over 30 min. Cure 30 min before moulding, apply 1–2 touch‑up coats as needed.

Applications

Composite Moulding Polyester

Chemlease 2185 Release Agent is used as a semi‑permanent release for composites moulding, explicitly including polyester moulding, where a high‑gloss finish and multiple releases are required without extended cure time. It is applied after thorough mould cleaning (removing prior release agents, sealers and buffing residues) because semi‑permanent systems polymerise on the mould surface and surface contamination can reduce performance. In typical use, the product is wiped on in sections at an ideal mould temperature of 18–27°C, allowed to haze, then buffed to gloss; a 30‑minute cure is recommended prior to moulding, with touch‑up coats applied as the film wears.

Key Features

FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
Room‑Temperature Curing, No Extended Cure
A semi‑permanent release that cures at room temperature and is designed to deliver multiple releases without requiring an extended cure.
Ready‑to‑Use, Simple Process
Supplied as a ready‑to‑use liquid dispersion - apply, allow to haze, then buff for finish.
High‑Gloss / Class A Finish Potential
Buffing after hazing produces a high gloss, and the TDS notes a final polish can achieve a higher “Class A” gloss.
Multiple Releases & Pore Sealing Film Build
A full application schedule (5 coats) is intended to seal mould pores and build film thickness to enable multiple releases.
Composites Focus (Including Polyester Moulding)
Effective for composites work, explicitly including polyester moulding, supporting broad composite manufacturing use.
Lower Maintenance with Touch‑Ups
When release performance starts to tighten, touch‑up coats can be applied without stripping previously applied Chemlease (under normal conditions)
