Product Properties

Molykote® 316 Silicone Release Spray is an FDA-compliant, heat-stable silicone compound designed to resolve adhesion issues across industries. This clear liquid dries within 3 minutes to form a durable release film.

Product Introductio

Molykote® 316 forms an oxidation-resistant silicone film that prevents carbonaceous residues or gummy surfaces. With low volatility at temperatures up to 199°C (390°F), it requires application to clean surfaces as a thin film for optimal release performance.

Enhanced Properties

•  FDA 21 CFR 175.300 compliance (subject to extractives limits);
• High-temperature resistance (199°C);
• Insoluble in water/ethanol/glycerin, dispersible in naphtha;
• 60-month shelf life (≤35°C). Not applicable to surfaces intended for painting.

 Application Scenarios

• Food Processing​​: Prevents milk residue buildup in evaporators, reduces adhesion of dates/tea cubes on drying trays, releases frozen fruits from freezer spouts. ​​
• Printing​​: Enhances metal release in high-speed rotary letterpress. ​​
• Glass Manufacturing​​: Prevents sticking to frosting equipment cooling cones. ​​
• General Use​​: Reduces conveyor jams, saw blade gumming, and ironing friction.
