McLube® has manufactured rubber release agents and anti-tack coatings for over fifty years. Our consummate line of mold release agents for natural and synthetic rubbers will protect mold surfaces from harmful compounds, dramatically reduce substrate microporosity, and stand up to the most abrasive rubbers for long-lasting release. We offer cost-effective, water and solvent-based release agents to include semi-permanent and sacrificial coatings. McLube® also offers mold release sprays for rubber molding applications.
