Water-Based Anti-Tack Mold Release Agent for Rubber Hose Manufacturing with Easy Water Cleanup

Water-Based Anti-Tack Mold Release Agent  for Rubber Hose Roller Drum Manufacturing

Lubekote 9240 is a specialized water-based anti-tack agent developed for the rubber hose manufacturing industry. Its unique formulation addresses one of the most persistent challenges in rubber processing: the adhesion of uncured and semi-cured rubber compounds to metal rollers, calendar drums, and processing equipment during continuous production. Unlike conventional mold release agents that focus solely on demolding finished parts, Lubekote 9240 functions as a protective barrier coating that prevents rubber stock from sticking to processing equipment throughout the entire manufacturing workflow, from calendering and extrusion to curing and finishing. This comprehensive anti-tack protection significantly reduces production interruptions caused by material buildup and equipment fouling.

The water-based formulation of Lubekote 9240 makes it an environmentally responsible choice for manufacturers seeking to reduce solvent emissions and improve workplace safety. It applies easily via spraying, dipping, or roller coating methods and forms a uniform, micro-thin protective film on metal surfaces that resists rubber adhesion without affecting the quality or properties of the rubber compound being processed. By maintaining clean, residue-free equipment surfaces over extended production runs, Lubekote 9240 helps manufacturers achieve higher throughput, lower maintenance costs, and more consistent product quality in their rubber hose and profile manufacturing operations.

• Water-Based Anti-Tack Technology: Environmentally friendly formulation free from hazardous organic solvents, providing effective rubber-to-metal adhesion prevention without compromising workplace safety or air quality compliance.
• Excellent Roller and Drum Protection: Forms a durable anti-stick barrier on metal calendar rollers, processing drums, and conveyor surfaces that prevents rubber compound adhesion during continuous calendering and extrusion operations.
• Broad Rubber Compound Compatibility: Effective across a wide range of rubber types including natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NBR), EPDM, and polychloroprene (CR) compounds used in hose manufacturing.
• Non-Interfering Surface Treatment: Does not transfer to or contaminate the rubber compound being processed, ensuring that subsequent curing, bonding, and finishing operations proceed without defects or quality issues.
• Extended Equipment Maintenance Intervals: Dramatically reduces the frequency of roller and drum cleaning operations, minimizing production downtime and extending the service life of expensive processing equipment.
• Easy Application and Cleanup: Compatible with spray, dip, and roller application methods with simple water-based cleanup that requires no aggressive solvents or specialized cleaning procedures.
• Consistent Processing Quality: Maintains uniform anti-tack properties across all treated surfaces, eliminating localized sticking that can cause material handling issues, surface defects, and production line stoppages.

Lubekote 9240 is purpose-designed for rubber hose and profile manufacturing environments where continuous processing on metal rollers and drums is the standard production method. Primary application areas include automotive coolant and fuel hose production lines, industrial hydraulic and pneumatic hose manufacturing, rubber profile and weatherstrip extrusion operations, rubber sheet calendering processes, conveyor belt manufacturing, and rubber-to-metal bonding pre-treatment where clean substrate surfaces are critical. It performs reliably on all common roller and drum materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, chrome-plated surfaces, and aluminum alloys. The product is also suitable for use in rubber mixing mills and internal mixers where anti-tack protection on rotor surfaces can improve mixing efficiency and reduce cleaning frequency.

Lubekote 9240 is available in standard packaging configurations of 20kg/barrel and 200kg/drum. Customized packaging solutions including intermediate bulk containers (IBC) can be arranged for high-volume consumers. Each production batch is tested for anti-tack effectiveness using standardized rubber compound adhesion tests, pH and viscosity consistency verification, and extended-duration equipment protection simulation. Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality management standards, Lubekote 9240 delivers consistent anti-tack performance batch after batch.
