👉 Casting fluid, also known as casting agent or mold release agent, is a specialized liquid used in metal casting processes to facilitate the removal of molten metal from molds. It reduces friction and adhesion between the molten metal and the mold walls, ensuring a clean and smooth release without damaging the intricate details of the casting. Typically composed of silicone-based polymers, fluoropolymers, or other specialized chemicals, casting fluid is carefully selected based on the metal type and casting conditions to optimize performance. Its primary functions include preventing defects like flash, porosity, and surface imperfections, while also aiding in the cooling process of the metal.
