Product Overview

MOLYKOTE® 316 Silicone Release Fluid is a versatile antisticking agent with exceptional thermal stability and longevity. MOLYKOTE® 316 has incredible oxidative stability, and the coating, once dried, has very low volatility in environments up to 199°C (390°F).  MOLYKOTE® 316 is insoluble in water, ethanol, acetone, glycol, and glycerin. It can be dispersed in naphtha. When using a solvent, it is important to allow for proper ventilation.

MOLYKOTE® 316 Silicone Release Fluid provides a long-term coating that easily resists buildup, retention, and sticking, which can be undesirable in many processes and equipment types. This silicone fluid effectively resolves issues often found with sticking and adhesion across a multitude of industries.

Containers for glue or adhesive
