Market Overview:

Release Agents form a market of chemical substances which serve as surface or mold coatings to stop material adhesion during manufacturing operations. The agents make product removal from molds simple for various sectors including plastics, rubber, concrete, food and pharmaceuticals. The market contains waxes, silicones, oils and synthetic compounds which serve to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality and reduce defects. The market expands since manufacturers need automation in their manufacturing operations and sustainable formulation development and process optimization for minimal material waste. The increasing demand for composites and lightweight materials and complex molded products throughout automotive aerospace and construction sectors drives the adoption of release agents.

Key players:

AAK, Archer Daniels Midland Company, Avatar Corporation, BASF SE, Cargill Incorporated, Croda International Plc, DowDuPont, Evonik Industries AG, FUCHS, KLK OLEO, Lallemand Inc, Mallet Company Inc and more.
