Non silicone mould release agents
Many automotive manufacturers do not allow silicone products on-site as it is known to migrate & cause problems with paint finishing namely 'fish-eyes' (Paint fish-eyes are small,“BB-sized”dimples or craters that form in the liquid paint film right after spraying. If watched closely when forming, the paint will actually flow up and out of the small dimple or crater. Contaminants - including silicone - mixed with the paint are pushing the paint out of the area. If these flaws in the paint are deep enough, you can sometimes see the primer or sealer under the colorcoat.)
IKV offer alternative products which do not contain silicone but can be used in the same way.
Our Beslux Dex-4 is a silicone free release agent for use as an anti-adherent in plastic injection moulding and welding. The parts in contact with the mould release can be printed and painted without any compatibility issues. It provides a fine layer of product (when sprayed from 30-40cm) and offers excellent demoulding results.

IKV Lubricants has been a leader in the field of high performance lubricants for many years & has met the increasing demands for tribological products that meet the requirements of the industries OEM’s.
IKV’s strategy consists of continuous research and on-going development supporting the industries design engineers by offering innovative tribological solutions.
IKV's quick reacting team, along with its capability to develop new products to meet a customer brief or application, make it a leader in its field. These products are available as greases, oils, pastes or dry coatings and are state-of-the-art solutions in the field of lubrication for long life, friction and wear reduction.
To accomplish this IKV uses a wide range of materials suitable for their tribological properties as well as for their compatibility or inertness with other materials. The result is a range of products containing approximately 500 formulations, which are capable of solving most all tribological problems encountered.
IKV realises the products must also meet application requirements and has, therefore, adapted its packaging to meet these requirements. IKV is part of a group, which has been in existence for nearly 100 years, a staff of 250 dedicated employees and a fully equipped in house laboratory with the latest equipment and a large production facility.
Although IKV Group already has a large range of proven products it prides itself on its ability to develop new products to meet the growing demands for excellence in industry.
IKV's quality management system guarantees its customers a perfect match between the properties of the products supplied and specific demands. This system has ISO 9001 vs 2000 accreditation.

IKV-FILMSEC 1010 is a dispersion of PTFE (tetrafluoroethylene telomers) in isopropyl alcohol. After evaporation of the solvent, it remains as a white and waxy lubricant, which with its high content in fluorine, exhibits the following properties:
- Outstanding lubricity
- Excellent thermal stability
- A high degree of chemical inertness
- Non flammability
- Insoluble
- Excellent nonstick and separation qualities
- Reduces the friction coefficient of the substrate
To obtain a stronger adhesion of the coating to its substrate, it is ideal to oven bake the treated part for 5 to10 minutes at 305 to 310 °C.
IKV- FILMSEC 1010 may be applied pure or diluted, depending on the desired effect. The product is also available in aerosol form.
Typical applications include:
- Release of plastics and rubber parts
- Sizing of sintered metal parts
- Dry film lubrication
- Metal working (extrusion, rolling, cutting)
- Additive in waxes and polishes for skis, auto bodies, and boat hulls
- Masking (protecting surfaces) for paint or varnish application
- Additive for elastomers and paints.
Pack size: 500ml aerosol spray
For more extreme conditions a fluorinated (PFPE) grease may be more suitable - see case study in download tab above. Synthetic fully fluorinated materials are used as lubricants and coatings in the most extreme & critical lubrication applications. Fluorinated oils and greases offer the ultimate in lubricant performance throughout a wide range of different industries and applications where conventional and other synthetic lubricants are not able to survive.
