Zyvax is a company that started in 1960 and specializes in semi-permanent mold release products. Their products can be used with various resin and tool substrate combinations at temperatures up to 500°F. Their mold release system helps provide consistent molding results and reduces tool maintenance costs. Zyvax is committed to providing high quality products and services according to their quality management system.

2. Our History… Zyvax Started the semi-permanent Mold Release Industry in 1960. The original formulators of Frekote. We have been here since the beginning. You are in good hands. . .

3. Resin Systems: Epoxy (RTM or pre-pregs), Phenolics, BMI’s, Polyimides, Polyamides, glass, carbon or kevlar reinforcement. Tool Substrates: carbon steel, carbon graphite, aluminum, invar, tooling board, composite tooling, or tooling primer. Temperature: thermal stability to 500 º F (260 º C). Sealer GP, and Multishield available for temperatures to 900 º F (482 ºF) .

4. Make your mold process as consistent and repeatable as possible. Zyvax can help. Zyvax Quality Statement: Zyvax is committed to providing all of our customers with the highest quality goods and services in the industry, in a timely, efficient, and consistent manner. Zyvax is also committed to complying with the requirements of and continually improving the effectiveness of our quality management system. Consistency is the key to Success

6. Fresh Start Tool & Parts Cleaner Non Hazardous formula. Non-VOC formula. No Hap’s. Will remove the build up of other semi-permanent release agents. Can be used to prepare parts for post finish painting or bonding. No hazardous precautions, or hazardous shipping charges.

7. The Fresh Start difference Notice the area on the lower left. This tool had been solvent cleaned and blasted with dry ice as much as possible. The rest of the tool was cleaned with Fresh Start. This can help keep tolerances and mil thickness of parts to specification. Plus great cost savings in reducing the hours of tool maintenance needed each year.

8. Pre-Flight Tool Conditioner / Sealer It is always recommended that the surface of any new or clean tool be conditioned prior to the application of a release coating. PreFlight has been developed to treat both the chemical and physical bonding sites found on every “raw” tool surface and prepare the surface to accept and produce the highest performance out of the release agent. Four coats of PreFlight are recommended with a 15 minute cure cycle at 180 º F (83 ºC) after the fourth coat. Pre-Flight conditioner / sealer is only applied once per cleaning cycle.

9. Microporosity The ZYVAX Release System The ZYVAX semi-permanent release polymers are designed to bond directly on to the surface of your mold tool. In that respect, ZYVAX release products could be compared with the more visible Teflon ® coating that you would see on your typical domestic "non stick" frying pan. There is no other grease, oil or liquid involved in the release process, the surface of the mold is completely dry, and the release agent will not transfer to the molded part. The ZYVAX release system is comprised of 2 main products: -The first product (Mold Sealer) prevents mechanical bonding -The second product (Mold Release) prevents chemical bonding

10. Microporosity Mold Sealer -prevents mechanical bonding The mold sealer is probably the most critical part of the entire release package, and often the most overlooked. The Mold Sealer if applied correctly can: 1. Increase the performance of the mold release 2. Provide more consistent release performance from mold to mold 3. Increase the life of the mold All materials have some degree of porosity; wood, plaster, metal, and composite all have differing levels of porosity, but they all have porosity. Cast or electro-deposited metals may have more porosity than machined rolled stock. Spray Gel coated tools may have a higher level of porosity compared than autoclave cured prepreg tooling, BUT IT IS ALL RELATIVE! The correct use of a mold sealer will reduce the minute surface porosity present in all mold materials, and help eliminate the potential for mechanical lock of the resin onto the mold surface. It also provides an excellent "key" to hold the chemical release agent on the surface of the mold.

12. Departure Release Agent Non-hazardous release agent. Odorless. Departure chemically bonds to the Conditioner/ Sealer. When applied correctly, Departure will not transfer to the molded part or other equipment surfaces. 2 coats to start. A non–fluorinated polymer. Departure provides multiple releases. Resin flow is enhanced, and part quality is excellent. Departure reduces pin holes and other surface defects. 1 coat between release cycles.

13. Departure Pre-Saturated Wipes Also available: Departure Pre-Saturated Wipes 100 count per container Aerospace specified cloth - Dupont ™ Sontara ® . Fabric non-woven 100% rayon, style 8642. Lockheed - AMS 3819. Boeing - BMS 15-5. Military - AMS 3819. Eliminates waste, and over application. Use less material and save money.

14. Preg Magic Tackifier Preg Magic is a non hazardous pre-preg, or peel ply tack promoter. Wrinkle free layout. Provides a temporary non-slip tacky surface only where it is needed, allowing positive placement of the material.

15. Room Temperature Sealer Options Sealer GP (Zyvax line) B15 alternative. Similar VOC count. Competitive pricing. No haps. Room temperature sealer. Apply 4 coats (15 min cure between coats). Only needed once per cleaning cycle. Can be used prior to Multishield high performance release agent for a 700 º F - 900 º F cure (ie. Polyimide resin). Can be used prior to any Zyvax Release Agent.

16. We recommend to track the cost savings below: >Time between Stripping/Cleaning >Elimination of Tool Baking >Easier cleaning of tools >Reduced Procurement >Decrease in hazardous material related costs Some Aerospace companies have tracked savings up to $3000 per tool per year.

Testimonials: “Yes we have had time to try all four products in the kit and we were very pleased with the results. I cannot see ever using anything else. I have others in our facility that are looking at the Fresh Start for cleaning applications other than molds.” . . .Top Aerospace Corporation. “ We appreciate how well your products work with our tooling. I couldn't count the number products we went thru to get to Zyvax. I can't remember the last time we had a part get stuck to a tool.” . . . Cessna Subcontractor
