Rubber Release Agents
Lotrec AB, based in Lidingö just
outside Stockholm, has a cumulative experience of more than 30 years in the field of fluorinated
and related materials, (such as PTFE), combined with sophisticated binding systems. In many formulations
we use raw materials from the PTFE group, a material which has the lowest known coefficient of friction.
Our strength is the chemical and practical knowledge in this field together with experience of custom made products for special applications, whilst using our long experience over a wide variety of different fields. We have a very active research and development department with a well-equipped laboratory including facilities for moulding and hose manufacture.
Our aim is to offer durable, environmentally friendly products, which are easy to work with and compatible with customer needs. Low-friction products from Lotréc AB are today in use in many different applications all over the world.
With the McLUBE and LUBKO range of products we are probably offering the most competitive dry film release agent systems in the market. Our products are known worldwide in the rubber industry and used widely wherever sticking and release problems occur. It is possible to choose between solvent or waterbased formulations depending upon the application.
The solvent based types are formulated for application on cold surfaces. They dry quickly and form a microthin, durable dry film. Sophisticated binding systems make the products very durable and also easy to use. Heating or baking is unnecessary. We can offer a wide range of high tech waterbased release and antitack agents for a wide variety of uses. It is possible to choose between fluorocarbon dispersions, emulsions or surfactive copolymer types. All silicone free, for your particular needs. Some solvent based and many water based are suitable for applying directly onto hot surfaces and will instantly polymerise for immediate use. With this range of products, in some cases combined with minor changes in your application technique, you can achieve the same results as solvent based materials whilst using an environmentally safe product.
