Silicones are widely used in formulation of release agents and lubricants for general industrial use, due to specific properties as low surface tension and excellent thermal stability, which allow use in a wide range of processes with good results and excellent cost benefit for the customer. The most common processes of use are lamination, labeling, molding, calendering, extrusion and general lubrication. Athon has a line of silicone-based products for application in various formulations of release agents, with the possibility of formula adjustments and customer support to improve finishing aspects of the part as well as defining the best cost for each type of process.

Athon PF 212 Fluid is a polysiloxane fluid with alkyl and aryl groups. It is an industrial release agent designed for the release of metallic materials, rubbers and plastics in manufacturing, molding or extrusion processes.
Athon PF 212 Fluid provides a film with excellent heat resistance (far superior to polydimethylsiloxane or organic release agents), does not require unusual or extraordinary cleaning operations prior to painting, gluing or miscellaneous coatings application.
Athon PF 212 Fluid is highly recommended for metal parts, rubbers and plastics in manufacturing, molding or extrusion processes.
Prior to use, Athon PF 212 Fluid is diluted with solvents to a desired concentration of 1.0-1.5%. Suitable solvents include: chlorinated, aliphatic and aromatic solvents such as xylene and toluene. Alternatively, Athon PF 212 Fluid may be emulsified and added to water- based formulations. To ensure optimum results, the surface of the material must be free of impurities, oil or grease. Athon PF 212 Fluid is typically applied by brushing or by spraying.

Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating is a room temperature cured siloxane-based composition for surface coating.
•One-component system
•Effective on many construction materials
•Single layer application generally sufficient, multi-layer application possible
•Weatherproof
•Water repellent
•Permeable to water vapor
•Dilutable in organic solvents
•Allows removal of graffiti with water
•Enhances surface color
•Protects metal surfaces from corrosion
Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating is suitable for mineral-based construction materials such as concrete, brick, limestone, natural and artificial stone, plaster, wood and coated metal surfaces as permanent protection against graffiti. For surfaces already coated with paints and other coatings, a previous test is necessary to assess whether there is a need for a combination with a suitable primer.
The product can also be used as a permanent release coating in some industrial processes.
Athon PC 2000 Silicone Coating cures quickly once applied to dry substrates and exposed to moisture in the air.
Curing takes place at the surface and progresses to the substrate based on available ambient moisture. Thorough drying for heavier film layers may require up to 24 hours.
Suitable solvents include aliphatic (hexane, turpentine) and aromatic (xylene and toluene). It is not recommended thinners or others based on ethyl acetate for example. Containers, once opened, must be used until empty. Any remaining coating, exposed to air, will continue to cure and thicken, resulting in surface skin formation and increased viscosity.
