Chemlease 258R EU Release Agent

Chemlease 258R EU Release Agent is a water-based release designed for difficult, abrasive moulding. It’s typically used for mandrels in filament winding, pre‑preg wrapping and wet lay‑up, plus LPMC/BMC, polymer concrete and high‑abrasion compression moulding. Apply by wipe (most effective) or spray in 2–3 light coats with a few minutes dry time. Do not heat cure, reapply 1 coat as required.

Applications

Composite Moulding

Chemlease 258R EU Release Agent is used where mould release is difficult due to abrasion, complex geometries or demanding processes, particularly on mandrels used for filament winding, pre‑preg wrapping and wet lay‑up. It is also commonly specified for LPMC/BMC, polymer concrete and high‑abrasion compression moulding, where a durable, water‑based release can help maintain steady production. In use, apply 2–3 light coats (wipe is preferred, or a fine spray), allow a short dry time between coats, do not heat cure, and then reapply typically one coat as required after demoulding.

Key Features

FEATURE
DESCRIPTION
Built for Difficult, Abrasive Moulding
Designed to provide easy part release in challenging, abrasive moulding environments where standard releases can struggle.
Water‑Based, Mandrel‑Friendly Performance
A water-based release agent suited to mandrel-based processes such as filament winding, pre‑preg wrapping and wet lay‑up.
Works Across High‑Abrasion Processes
Typically recommended for LPMC, BMC, polymer concrete, and high‑abrasion compression moulding, supporting consistent release in abrasive cycles.
Flexible Application (Wipe or Spray)
Can be applied by wipe or spray, with the wipe method noted as the most effective for performance.
Low Build‑Up Tendency When Applied Correctly
Noted as not building up over time, and specifically that it won’t build up unless substantially over-applied - helping keep tools cleaner.
