Chemtrend’s Chemlease®- and Zyvax® products include a wide
selection of release agents for composite manufacturing.
There are products available for aeronautics, infrastructure as
well as car and boat industries.
Pore varnishes/sealants for composites
Pore varnish produces an even, protective polymer layer onto the mold surface. It also has an anchoring effect on the release agent, thus increasing the amount of releases. Pore varnish is an important component of the releasing system.
Chemlease® 15 sealer EZ
A high-quality sealant developed to both seal and keep mold surfaces in good condition. It covers surface porosity and protects new and/or mended mold surfaces.
Number of coats: 1-2
Drying time between coats at 20 °C: 10 min
Final curing at 20 °C: 60 min
Package size: 0,87 kg
Chemlease® MPP 712 EZ
Sealing agent that reduces surface porosity, but does not have release properties. This agent is intended for new molds and the mending of old ones.
Number of coats: 1-2
Drying time between coats at 20 °C: 30 min
Final curing at 20 °C: 120 min
Package size: 0,87 kg
Zyvax® Sealer GP
Sealer GP is a high modulus, clear, flexible film with superior substrate adhesion that forms a protective shield on the mold surface. As a conditioner, Sealer GP is designed to treat both the chemical and physical bonding sites found on every “raw” mold surface. In addition, Sealer GP provides the base needed to extend the life of the release coating and will allow optimal performance from the release coating.
Number of coats: 8
Drying time between coats at 20 °C: 15 min
Final curing at 20 °C: 30 min
Package size: 0,935 l, 3,75 l
Zyvax® Sealer SF
Sealer SF is a water-based mold surface sealer that utilizes unique reactive chemistry to form a durable film on the mold surface. Sealer SF increases the duty cycle of the mold and protects the mold surfaces from wear and damage. Used in conjunction with Zyvax® release products, Sealer SF will increase production floor efficiency while enhancing workplace safety.
Number of coats: 4
Drying time between coats at 20 °C: 15 min
Final curing at 20 °C: 30 min
Package size: 4 l
Release agents for composites
The release agent makes and keeps the release process simple. It should be used so that the relative humidity is >30%. In drier conditions, either the curing time should be 10 times longer or the relative humidity should be increased. Chemtrend’s Chemlease®- and Zyvax® products are user-friendly, they protect the mold and increase its life-time.
Chemlease® 41-90 EZ
This release agent is especially designed for molds in which the products are difficult to detach.

Package size: 3,54 kg
Zyvax® Composite Shield
Zyvax® Composite Shield is a high performance, semi-permanent release coating specifically formulated for use with advanced composite materials in industries requiring contamination-free, fail-safe processing. Composite Shield offers effective multiple release efficiency with a wide range of molding compounds and provides good wet adhesion, eliminating surface defects such as “fisheyes” or “pinholes”.
Number of coats: 1-2
Drying time between coats at 20 °C: 15 min
Final curing at 20 °C: 30 min
Package size: 0,935 l, 3,75 l
Zyvax® Flex-Z
Flex-Z is an industry breakthrough – a variable release system that gives total control to the molder. An array of six products with a common platform, Flex-Z provides flexibility in mold release levels that is an absolute requirement. Formulated to control physical and chemical factors in polyester-molding environments, Flex-Z reduces prep time, eliminates sag and delivers predictable release across the performance spectrum from minimum to maximum slip.
