Biesterfeld receives further distribution rights for mold release agents from Chem-Trend in Germany

The Chem-Trend® product line includes water- or solvent-based conventional mould release agents and semi-permanent release agents to cover all applications in the rubber industry.

The products provide improved release and rubber material flow, are used in numerous industries such as die casting, polyurethane, tyre manufacturing or wood composites and are particularly suitable for moulded parts with very complex geometry and structure. Depending on the application, the release agents are offered as semi-permanent or conventional products allowing tailored solutions.

Mono-Coat® are semi-permanent release agents. They offer an alternative to conventional release agents that have to be reapplied at each cycle. They offer an excellent release effect for almost all moulding compounds used in the rubber industry.

Sascha Hennig, General Manager at Biesterfeld Performance Rubber says: “We are very excited about the expansion of our partnership with Chem-Trend. Thanks to the additional distribution rights, we can now provide even more customers with innovative special release agents that address their unique needs and help enhance productivity. On top, the newly acquired products perfectly complement the existing portfolio in Germany.”

“Biesterfeld Performance Rubber is the ideal partner for the distribution of our product range for the rubber processing industry in Germany thanks to its excellent industry knowledge and customer proximity”, explains Dr. Christian Bruckmeier, European Business Director Rubber at Chem-Trend Germany. “Our common customers will benefit from our cooperation which will help optimise the manufacture of rubber products and increase the efficiency of the manufacturing processes.”
