AC8710
ALCHEMIX AC 8710 is an aqueous dispersion of acrylic polymers, primarily used as a binder for Gypsum based plasters in sculptures industry. It gives excellent strength to the plaster and reduces the fragility that is inherent to plasters. Alchemix AC8710 is white in colour therefore does not affect the base colour of the plaster and can easily be pigmented. The product works perfect even at temperatures as low as near 0°C, however the cure time increases at lower temperatures. Learn More -

R4
ALCHEMIX R4 is a liquid solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in ethyl alcohol. Release Agent R4 is intended for use as a mould release/parting agent for fabricating mouldings in polyester gelcoat and layup resins in GRP construction. Learn More -
R5
ALCHEMIX R5 is a wax based aerosol release agent, which is free of silicone and chlorohydrocarbons. When applied in a thin coating, the carrier easily and quickly evaporates, leaving a thin film of wax on the surface. The wax can take temperatures up to 100°C without melting and boiling.

R6
ALCHEMIX R6 is a silicone based aerosol release agent for epoxy, polyurethane, polyester and many other materials. Learn More -
R7
ALCHEMIX R7 is a wax based liquid release agent, which is free of chlorohydrocarbons and silicone. When applied in a thin coating, the carrier easily and quickly evaporates, leaving a thin film of wax on the surface. The wax can take temperatures up to 90°C without melting and boiling. Learn More -
R8
ALCHEMIX R8 is a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) release agent for use on metals, wood, leather, rubber and ceramics. Release Agent R8 is especially useful as a running in lubricant for packing and for applying to gaskets to aid easy removal. Learn More -
Sheetwax
Alchemix high temperature Sheetwax was developed for use with casting and laminating resins that either require or give off heat during curing. This Sheetwax is a scientific blend of materials that provides a flexible sheet that will melt at temperatures in excess of 126°C. Alchemie Sheetwax can be used as a material thickness in the forming of patterns or dies. The high temperature stability permits laminating or casting a hollow core in plastic. After the plastic has been cast around the wax and cured, the wax can be readily melted from the part. PROPERTIES - Adhesive backed with pressure sensitive coating on one side. Ring ball softening range appx. 134°C to 140°C. Colour : Tan Flexibility : easily formed around tight compound curves (care should be taken when applying, that the wax thickness is not reduced).
