CONAP MR-5012 Mold Release, 1 Gallon Pail

Description

MR-5012 mold release is a CONAP liquid release agent from ELANTAS for casting, potting, and molding work that uses nonporous molds. Source documents describe MR-5012 as a low-viscosity, silicone-based liquid parting agent for releasing epoxy, polyurethane, polyester, and many plastic resins from metal, plastic, and other nonporous mold surfaces.

MR-5012 mold release Applications

• Epoxy casting and potting projects using reusable metal or plastic molds.
• Polyurethane and polyester resin work where a thin release film is needed.
• Production or lab molding tasks with simple or detailed mold geometry.
• Maintenance of mold surfaces used with CONAP and related resin systems.
• Shop programs that need a liquid release agent supplied in a gallon pail.

The 1 gallon pail format fits shops that use mold release often enough to keep a dedicated container at the bench. Because release performance depends on mold material, resin chemistry, coating thickness, and drying conditions, each new process should be tested before a production pour.

MR-5012 mold release Benefits

• Low-viscosity liquid is easier to wipe, brush, or spray across shaped mold surfaces.
• Silicone-based film helps separate cured resin from nonporous mold surfaces.
• Useful for room-temperature and heated-temperature cure systems when the process is qualified.
• Thin film can help preserve detail when applied and dried correctly.
• Works as a process aid for casting, potting, and molding teams handling repeat parts.

Surface Prep and Handling

Clean the mold before applying release agent, because dust, uncured resin, or old buildup can transfer into the cast part. Apply a controlled film and allow it to dry before filling the mold. Gluespec references light buffing with a clean, lint-free cloth after drying when a better surface finish is needed.

Store the container closed and follow the current technical data sheet for temperature and storage limits. If the resin system, cure temperature, or mold material changes, qualify the release process again before approving the part.
