Amidst sustained high temperatures, challenges such as rapid mold release agent consumption and mold fouling in injection molding workshops have become particularly acute. Unlike traditional external release agents that require frequent spraying, IOTA-2437 methyl phenyl silicone oil—a product of IOTA Silicone—functions as a low-viscosity internal release agent that integrates directly into thermoplastic or thermoset resin systems. With a viscosity of just 15–22 cSt and excellent dispersibility, an addition of only 0.01% to 0.5% facilitates the easy release of everyday plastic parts—such as mobile phone cases, automotive interior panels, and home appliance housings—leaving surfaces smooth and free of greasy residue. While conventional release agents often suffer from poor heat resistance and a tendency to accumulate carbon deposits or scale, IOTA-2437 boasts a flash point of 170°C and a pour point below -60°C, ensuring consistent performance in both extreme heat and cold; furthermore, its chemical inertness prevents mold corrosion. Driven by the dual factors of "Dual Carbon" goals and summer heat, this silicone additive is low-volatility and solvent-free; it can be premixed using belt or high-intensity mixers or injected directly into the molding machine. Operators need only wear safety goggles and gloves in a well-ventilated area, making the process safe and convenient. From lightweight components for new energy vehicles to children's toys, IOTA’s solution effectively helps factories reduce the frequency of downtime for cleaning, cut costs, boost efficiency, and achieve green, high-performance mold release.
