Release Agents for MDF, PB & OSB by Durafine

The Durafine Advantage

Durafine Coatings is a “full service” manufacturer of water-borne industrial coatings and release agents. We also custom-manufacture to your requirements, including color matching.

RELEASE AGENT : FIBERLINE 403 HD

Combined release and wetting agent for MDF, particle board, and OSB, suitable for spray gun application.
Prevents buildup on press plates, ensuring an excellent board surface and shorter press cycle times.
Environmentally friendly, with no foaming or gel formation, even when diluted up to 1:50 with water.

RELEASE AGENT : FIBERLINE 402 WS31 S/12

Dual-function release and wetting agent designed for MDF and particleboard production, providing excellent board surface quality.
Prevents press plate buildup and supports shorter press cycles, improving overall production efficiency.
Environmentally friendly, highly effective even at high dilutions, and suitable for use with automatic impulse spray systems.

RELEASE AGENT : FIBERLINE 403 FR 8

Dual-function wetting and release agent for MDF, particle board, and OSB, suitable for Weko, Imal, and standard spray systems.
Prevents buildup on both press and forming belts, ensuring smooth board surfaces and less sanding required.
Environmentally friendly and supports shorter press cycle times with excellent release performance.

RELEASE AGENT : FIBERLINE 406 FR 5 PH

Dual-function release and wetting agent for MDF, particle board, QSB, and OSB, ideal for dry gluing applications.
Improves glue distribution and board quality, enhancing bending and face strength while reducing press cycle time.
Prevents buildup in blenders and forming belts, offering excellent surface finish and environmental friendliness.

STEEL BELT CLEANER : FIBERLINE 400 CL

Specially designed for MDF continuous press lines without external spray systems, used directly on Scotch-Brite rollers to clean and prevent resin buildup.
Enhances surface quality by forming a consistent release film that improves resin distribution and board surface density, reducing paint consumption in post-processing.
Effective with E1 and E0 thin board production, reducing press belt contamination and supporting smoother, more efficient production cycles.

Durafine Case Study

Optimizing Continuous Board Production with Durafine's Release agent and Flame Retardant Systems

A major MDF and particle board manufacturer operating a continuous press line was facing performance bottlenecks during the production of standard and flame-retardant boards. The existing chemical systems led to high maintenance demands, frequent press downtime, and challenges in meeting fire resistance certifications for specific export markets.

The Problem
Production Issues Identified:

Sticking and surface defects on board edges due to inconsistent release
Build-up of resin and wax on steel belts, causing press slowdowns and cleaning interruptions
Ineffective flame retardant dispersion, requiring overuse of additives to meet testing thresholds
Difficulty achieving certified flame-retardant properties (EN 13501-1, ASTM E84) without affecting board quality

These issues increased downtime, chemical costs, and rejection rates, while limiting line speed and profitability.
