Product Information
Full details
The Non Sil Non Silicone Mould Release from Aerosol Solutions is designed for professionals and hobbyists needing a reliable mould release agent that avoids silicone contamination. Its key benefit is providing excellent release properties without impacting the adhesion of subsequent coatings like paint or lacquers, making it ideal for injection moulding or general lubrication where silicone is unsuitable. A caveat to consider is its specific formulation, meaning it's best suited for applications where silicone is problematic.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of using Non Sil over silicone-based release agents?
The primary advantage is that Non Sil is silicone-free, meaning it will not interfere with the adhesion of paints, lacquers, adhesives, or other coatings applied after the moulding or lubrication process.
Can Non Sil be used for all types of moulding?
Yes, Non Sil is suitable for various types of moulding, including injection moulding, and can be used with plastics, rubber, and resins. It's particularly useful when the moulded parts require subsequent finishing processes.
How do I clean Non Sil off moulded parts?
Non Sil is designed to be easily removed. Typically, wiping with a clean cloth or a mild solvent is sufficient. For specific applications, refer to the product data sheet or test a suitable cleaning agent.
Is Non Sil safe to use on food-grade applications?
This product information does not specify food-grade suitability. It is intended for industrial and general-purpose use where silicone contamination is a concern. Always consult the manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) for detailed regulatory compliance and application suitability.
How often should I reapply Non Sil to a mould?
The frequency of reapplication depends on the mould material, the part material being moulded, temperature, and cycle time. For optimal results, monitor the release performance and reapply as needed to maintain easy ejection.
Can Non Sil be used as a general lubricant?
Yes, Non Sil can be used as a general-purpose lubricant in applications where a silicone-free solution is required to avoid issues with paints, adhesives, or other surface treatments.
What is the shelf life of Non Sil?
Aerosol cans typically have a long shelf life when stored correctly. Refer to the batch code or manufacturer's recommendation for specific expiry information. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Parts are sticking to the mould
Ensure the mould surface was adequately and evenly coated. Reapply a slightly thicker, uniform layer and ensure the can was shaken properly before use. Check that the mould surface is clean and free from old residue.
Product spray pattern is uneven or clogged
Shake the can vigorously again. Turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. If persistent, try a new can.
Paint or coating is not adhering after use
This is unlikely if Non Sil was used correctly. Ensure the part was sufficiently cleaned of any Non Sil residue before painting. Verify that the correct type and application of Non Sil were used, as it is specifically designed to prevent this issue.
Difficulty removing Non Sil residue
While designed for easy removal, some stubborn residue might occur. Use a clean cloth dampened with a suitable industrial degreaser or solvent (test compatibility first) to wipe away residue.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ideal alternative to silicone-based release agents.
- Prevents common issues with paint and coating adhesion.
- Suitable for both injection moulding and general lubrication needs.
- Ensures clean release of parts, improving production quality.
- Convenient and easy to apply via aerosol.
Cons
- Not suitable for applications where silicone is desired or required.
- May require specific cleaning procedures depending on the application.
- Aerosol can may be less precise for very small or intricate applications compared to brush-on options.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the mould or surface to be treated is clean and dry.
- Shake the aerosol can thoroughly for at least one minute after the ball rattles.
- Hold the can upright approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface.
- Apply a thin, even coat. For moulds, a light mist is often sufficient; excessive application may not be necessary and could require more cleaning.
Compatibility:
Non Sil is compatible with most plastics, rubbers, resins, and metals commonly used in moulding and general lubrication. Crucially, it is designed to be compatible with subsequent painting, lacquering, bonding, and coating processes where silicone would typically interfere. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure, especially with sensitive materials or coatings.
Care:
- Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Keep away from open flames or sparks. Do not smoke while using.
- After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a short burst to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
- Clean any overspray or residue promptly with a suitable solvent if necessary, although Non Sil is generally designed to be easily removed.
