Marine Anti-Osmosis Mold Release Wax

This specialty marine mold release wax is formulated for the production of marine composite hull parts and boat components where osmotic blistering resistance is a critical performance requirement for the finished part. Conventional mold release waxes can leave trace hydrocarbon or polar residues on the part gel coat surface that act as osmotic initiation sites — points where water can permeate the gelcoat and initiate subsurface blistering in service. This product is formulated with highly purified, hydrophobic wax components that minimize polar residue transfer to part surfaces. The release wax provides the standard 3–5 releases per application with high gloss. Parts produced with this release wax have gelcoat surfaces with the lowest possible contamination level, reducing the risk of osmotic blistering in marine service. Recommended for marine hull production where ISO 2812-2 or Lloyds-approved gelcoat systems are used. Compatible with all standard marine polyester and vinyl ester gelcoats and laminates.
