Zyvax® – the complete portfolio

• Water-based and solvent-based systems

• Mould cleaners

• Mould preparation primers

• Mould sealers

• Mould release agents- Semi-permanents

• Surface tack enhancer

5

Zyvax® ancillary products

Mould cleaners:

• Water-based or solvent-based

• Essential for ensuring contaminant-free mould surface and subsequent bonding of semi-permanent release agents

• Quick and effective cleaning without damage to mould surface

• Can be used to clean parts

6

Zyvax® mould preparations

Primers & sealers:

• Water-based or solvent-based

• Help minimise buildup and keep moulds in production longer

• Extend the durability of the semi-permanent release agent

Extend the ROI on your moulds by:

• Restoring older or damaged tooling, without replacement or expensive refurbishment

• Minimising tool imperfections and helping retain vacuum integrity

• Defending tooling from damage and extending tool life

7

Zyvax® semi-permanent release agents

• Water-based or solvent-based

• Multiple releases

• Low buildup, less time spent cleaning moulds

• Low transfer to part, easier preparation for

post-moulding painting or bonding

• Variable slip levels available depending on moulding

parameters and process

• Suitable for use with all thermoset resins and pre-pregs

• Suitable for use with TP materials such as PEEK, PPS

and PEI pre-pregs

• Suitable for use with infusion and RTM processes

8

Zyvax® surface tack enhancer

• Water-based

• Applied to the mould surface, allows precision “stacking” of

pre-pregs and peel-plies by creating a temporarily tacky

surface

• Helps to facilitate wrinkle-free layout

• Easy control of placement with applicator bottle

• Prevents peel-ply from sliding on released mould surfaces

• Allows accurate pre-preg placement

• Highly visible on mould surface

• Saves time during lay-up process

• Doesn’t interfere with the releasing surface of the mould

• Can be applied specifically where needed

9

Zyvax® products for industry requirements

• Mould and part cleaners to deliver fast and efficient

surface preparation

• Primer and sealers to seal surface porosity

and protect expensive mould tooling

• Semi-permanent release systems to ensure reliable

release whatever the resin, process or part complexity

• Surface tackifier to aid accurate placement

of dry pre-pregs

10

• Bulk materials for automated process spray

application

• Wipes for greater control and safe

hand application

• Application on metallic or polymeric moulds, hot or

cold

• Surface tackifier to ensure proper fiber placement in

complex shapes

• Zyvax® release system products have a proven track

record within the aerospace industry with a variety of

approvals from major OEMs

Application control meets industry specs
