ENVIROSHIELD

Page 1 of 2 DESCRIPTION ENVIROSHIELD is a versatile, odorless and NON VOC release agent designed specifically to meet the “Green Chemistry” requirements around the world. ENVIROSHIELD is recommended for applications requiring multiple releases, superior surface finish with high gloss and easy touch-up for seamless production cycles. ENVIROSHIELD gives outstanding release performance when applied over SEALER GP . Zyvax ENVIROSHIELD chemically bonds to the mold surface and when applied correctly, will not transfer to the molded part, or other processing equipment. Micro polymer resin prevents build-up on mold and high lubricity allows quick effortless demolding. ENVIROSHIELD when used in conjunction with other Zyvax water based products such as WATERCLEAN , SEALPROOF, SEALBRITE , and SILVERSHIELD 320, can completely eliminate the need for using solvents and alcohol’s in the mold cleaning sealing and release process. Using Zyvax water based materials will eliminate odor and reduce the need to use masks, gloves or installing costly fume extraction systems required with traditional solvent based products. ENVIROSHIELD can also reduce the indirect costs of using solvent based materials such as hazardous shipping , storage charges and reporting requirements. ENVIROSHIELD benefits are: * ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE * No Odor * No solvents or alcohol * Thermal Stability * No CFC’s, VOC’s, or ODC’s * High Gloss * Fast cure * High slip/lubricity * Non-flammable * Easy re-coat/touch-up * No build-up on mold TYPICAL PROPERTIES Appearance & Odor : Opaque liquid with bland odor Carrier : Blend of water & non-ionic emulsifiers Flash Point [C.C] : None Coverage : Approximately 1200 Sq. Ft./Gallon Wt/Gallon : 8.0 lbs/Gallon Cure Requirement : Ambient or heat USES ENVIROSHIELD is recommended for releasing epoxies, phenolics, polyester resins, polyamides, polybismaleimides, various rubbers and elastomers. ENVIROSHIELD is specified for applications where the use of flammable products or solvent based materials are not desired. SURFACE PREPARATION Before applying ENVIROSHIELD , all previous waxes or oils should be removed using WATERCLEAN , and a suitable mold sealer should be applied . If surfaces have been coated with a semi-permanent release agent, it may be possible to simply solvent wipe, dry, and apply ENVIROSHIELD . A test patch should be done to confirm this possibility.
