Poor Gloss

What it is:

Certain parts require high gloss levels, but often, post molding, the gloss level proves to be incorrect.

Causes:

Inconsistencies can build up over prolonged periods of time.

Solutions:

Chem-Trend has developed a special primer product that is easily applied to a clean mold surface before the release agent is applied. The extremely high gloss, which is fixed upon the mold surface, is then replicated onto part after molded part. Regular re-applications of a corresponding specialized Chem-Trend® mold release agent will ensure that the gloss level remains intact for a long period of time. Using this special primer reduces or even totally eliminates the need for flame-polishing of molded parts.
