Chemlease RTM Release System

Resin Transfer Moulding. For all its
many benefits, RTM creates the
most difficult environment in release
agent performance today.
Chemlease has developed a
revolutionary, leading-edge release
system designed to address the
following:
The chemically abrasive RTM resins
that destroy most release films
Mould build-up and scumming
that plague other release products
Mould configurations and
low-shrink resins that mechanically
abrade the release film

The Chemlease RTM Release

System has the tenacity, chemical
resistance, durability and lubricity
required for RTM including:

Clean, Prime, Seal and Top Coat for Superior Release

Step 1: Clean (choose one)
Chemlease Hydrolease Cleaner: is a water-based cleaner formulated to
remove waxes, buffing compounds and semi-permanents including sealers
and top coats.
Chemlease Mould Cleaner EZ: is a heavy duty, solvent-based cleaner
formulated to dissolve waxes and buffing compounds without removing the
semi-permanent coating layer.

Step 2: Prime
Chemlease MPP-2L: is a unique, heavy-duty mould primer and chemically inert
sealer with no release agent characteristics. The product is designed to fill areas
with high porosity, particularly new moulds and repaired areas of old moulds.

Step 3: Seal
Chemlease 15 Sealer EZ: is a high-performance sealer formulated to condition
mould surfaces, reducing porosity and acting as a protective barrier for new or
reconditioned moulds.

Step 4: Top Coat (choose one)

Chemlease PMR-90: is a high-slip release agent that enhances the overall gloss
of Class A surface finishes while the durable film provides multiple releases.
Chemlease 41-90: is a high-slip release agent designed for non-cosmetic
parts and multiple releases. 41-90 will mirror the surface of the mould closely,
facilitating replication of highly diverse surfaces with a single release agent.

Superior mould sealing capability,

eliminating the effect of porosity

Chemlease R&B: is a high slip release agent, designed for non-cosmetic

parts where resin is in direct contact with the mould surface, which provides
multiple releases.

Easier multiple releases for better

production output

Step 5: Internal Release Agent (recommended but not essential)

Virtually no transfer to the

moulded part, resulting in less
post-mould cleaning
Increased mould use between
touch-ups, vastly reduced
downtime

Chemlease IMO2: is an internal release agent that retards mould build-up

and assists the demolding process for each part. Add 0.1-1.0% by weight IM02
to resin followed by a 15-minute mix. Always consult your resin supplier before
adding an internal release agent.

Note: The Chemlease 15 Sealer Chemlease PMR products are still available, but have been
superseded by the advanced performance EZ range.

Mould Cleaning

Two mould cleaners are avaliable: Chemlease Hydrolease Cleaner and Chemlease Mould Cleaner EZ
*= Recommended

= Wiping off excess material will enhance part appearance

Note: When experiencing low humidity conditions in the workshop, it may be necessary to extend the time between coats and increase the number of coats
applied to the mould. These are general application guidelines. Please consult your local Chemlease representative and individual Product Data Sheets and

Material Safety Data Sheets for specific storage, handling and application instructions.

While the technical information and suggestions for use contained herein are believed to be accurate and reliable, nothing stated in this bulletin is to be
taken as a warranty, either expressed or implied. Please refer to individual data sheets for further application, safety and handling information.
