Why bother with a specialized mold release?

To stop sticking, protect tools, cut defects, and keep your line moving. The wrong release jacks up scrap and damages molds.

Waterborne wax emulsions vs. old-school oil releases?

· Better release with lower VOCs (safer). · Fewer oxidation marks and defects. · Easier cleanup and better downstream compatibility.

Cutting fluids foaming like crazy—what’s the fix?

Foam kills cooling and lubrication and causes spills and bad readings. You want defoamers that knock foam down quickly and keep it down, across temperature and pH, without breaking your emulsion.

Will it hold up under heat and harsh conditions?

Yes. Waterborne/modified wax emulsions give you heat-resistant, stable films and resist common chemicals. Our defoamers stay effective across a wide temp/pH range without collapsing the system. On-site tests and formula tweaks are part of the service.

An indispensable but efficient auxiliary for metal processing

Metal die casting release agents play a critical role in the quality of mold castings, production efficiency, and mold longevity. Rallychem's wax additives, developed through years of technical expertise and experience in metal processing, are primarily used in metal forming processes such as casting, forging, stretching, and extrusion. They provide superior release performance, mold protection, and are environmentally friendly, making them an essential and efficient auxiliary in the metal stripping industry.

Dominance

Excellent release performance

Rallychem's eco-friendly water-based wax emulsion is primarily used as a mold and core coating agent. It effectively releases products from molds without damaging the mold or casting surfaces, extends mold service life, reduces metal oxidation, prevents pore and impurity formation, and enhances casting quality.

Long-lasting foam suppression and stable performance

After specialized design and preparation, Rallychem cutting fluid defoamer exhibits low surface tension, excellent diffusivity, and good compatibility. It provides rapid and long-lasting foam suppression, maintaining stable performance under various temperature and pH conditions. Importantly, it does not compromise the performance of the cutting fluid, ensuring smooth metal processing.

Environmental

Rallychem's water-based wax emulsion and cutting fluid defoamer offer environment, health and safety benefits through innovative technology.

How Do Rallychem Wax Additives Enhance Metal processing Performance?

Metal processing optimization is achieved by matching the molecular weight distribution, acid value, and dropping point of specialty wax additives to polymer and coating rheology (Rallychem 2026). First, data shows our research at the USD 20 million Rallychem Application Lab measured 25% lower melt viscosity and 3 times longer equipment run times across 10,000 customers worldwide. Second, recommended grades include: 1. Targeted polyester waxes RL-916A and RS-500 for internal and external lubrication balance with zero die plate-out; 2. Oxidized polyethylene waxes RL-53 and RL-06A for polar filler wetting and metal release; 3. Polyolefin wax RL-110 and PTFE-free micronized wax SAMWAX PE-04 for pigment dispersion and surface rub resistance. Additionally, thixotropic wax paste RL-691A prevents hard pigment settling. For example, in practice using Rallychem additives at 0.5% to 2.0% reduces overall formulation cost by 15%.

Flagship Grade Selection & Technical Parameter Matrix

Recommended Grade	Additive Category	Dropping Point / Particle Size	Key Functional Role in Metal processing
RL-916A / RS-500	Targeted Polyester Wax	98–110 °C (Acid Value ≤ 15)	Internal/external lubrication balance & zero die precipitation
RL-53 / RL-06A	Oxidized PE Wax (OPE)	102–142 °C (Acid Value 14–20)	Melt fusion promotion, polar filler wetting & metal release
RL-110 / SAMWAX PE-04	Polyolefin / Micronized Wax	110–118 °C (D50 4.0–5.0 μm)	High-shear pigment dispersion, surface slip & rub resistance
RL-0143 / RL-691A	Wax Emulsion / Wax Paste	20–40% Solids (D50 ~80 nm)	Anti-blocking, anti-settling thixotropy & scratch protection
