Emulsified silicone oil is a commonly used mold lubricant with good demolding effect. It is a mixture of silicone oil and emulsifier, which can form a stable emulsion. In the process of mold manufacturing, emulsified silicone oil can effectively lubricate the surface of the mold, reduce friction between the mold and the material being molded, and thus improve the demolding speed.
Firstly, emulsified silicone oil has lower viscosity and surface tension, allowing it to quickly penetrate into the tiny pores of the mold. It forms a uniform and stable lubricating film on the surface of the mold, making it easier for the material to separate from the mold during the demolding process. This lubricating film can reduce the adhesion between the mold and the material being molded, reduce the resistance of the mold during the demolding process, and thus improve the demolding speed.
Secondly, emulsified silicone oil has good permeability. After being applied to the surface of the mold, it can quickly penetrate into the small depressions of the mold, fill the gaps, and form a uniform lubricating film. This lubricating film can reduce the contact area between the mold surface and the mold material, reduce friction, and further improve the demolding speed.
In addition, emulsified silicone oil also has good stability and high temperature resistance. In high-temperature environments, emulsified silicone oil can still maintain its lubrication performance and will not fail due to temperature rise. This allows emulsified silicone oil to be applied in various high-temperature environments during mold manufacturing, improving the stability and reliability of demolding speed.
In short, emulsified silicone oil can improve the demolding speed. It reduces the adhesion and friction between the mold and the material being molded by forming a uniform and stable lubricating film, reducing resistance and making the demolding process smoother. The permeability and high temperature resistance of emulsified silicone oil further enhance its application range in mold manufacturing, making the improvement of demolding speed more reliable and stable. Therefore, emulsified silicone oil has broad application prospects in the mold manufacturing industry.
