Overview
OXBOND 102 is a high-performance demolding wax formulated for factories that need reliable release performance under high-temperature production conditions. As one of the recommended international brand products in our auxiliary agent range, it is supplied with supply chain resource support for fabricators sourcing a heat-resistant release wax for fiberglass and artificial stone manufacturing.
Product Information
OXBOND 102 has been specially formulated to adapt to high-temperature use, and with its straightforward operation, it is designed to help improve production efficiency on the shop floor. The wax is based on refined Carnauba Wax blended with high-temperature synthetic ingredients and petroleum distillates, giving it the heat tolerance needed for demanding mold cycles. It is suitable for various types of fiberglass products and artificial stone resin pouring products.

Applications of OXBOND 102
It can be used across a wide range of composite molding processes, including:
- Cultured marble and other cast moulding
- Open mould construction
- Spray-up or hand lay-up processes
- RTM vacuum bag and compression molding
- Corrosion-resistant polymer concrete production
- Filament winding or mandrel procedures
This range of compatible processes makes it a practical choice for fabricators running multiple molding methods on the same production floor, since a single release wax can often cover several process lines rather than requiring a different product for each.
Key Benefits of OXBOND 102
- Formulated to withstand high-temperature molding conditions without breaking down early
- Simple operation that does not require specialized equipment to apply
- Based on refined Carnauba Wax for a durable, glossy release surface
- Compatible with a wide range of composite molding processes
- Suited to both fiberglass and artificial stone resin pouring applications
Mold Preparation and Application Best Practices
Before applying OXBOND 102, molds should be thoroughly cleaned of residue from previous release agents, since leftover buildup can interfere with gloss and even coverage on the next application. A thin, even coat generally performs better than a thick application, since excess wax can take longer to haze and may transfer onto the finished part.
For high-temperature processes such as RTM or filament winding, fabricators should allow adequate curing time between coats so the wax film can fully harden before the mold is exposed to elevated temperatures. Running a small trial mold to confirm coverage, gloss, and release performance under actual shop conditions is generally recommended before scheduling a full production changeover.
What to Consider When Sourcing OXBOND 102
When sourcing a high-temperature demolding wax, fabricators typically evaluate heat resistance, ease of application, and compatibility with their specific molding process, whether that is open mould, spray-up, RTM, or filament winding. Because this wax is built to handle demanding heat conditions, it is often considered by factories that have experienced early wax breakdown or inconsistent release with standard-grade products.
Working with a supplier that can provide consistent documentation and responsive technical support can help reduce qualification time when approving a new release wax for a production line. Buyers should confirm current packaging options and lead times against their own production schedule before switching to a new release product.
General Handling and Storage Guidance
As with most paste release waxes, it should be kept in its original, tightly sealed container, stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and used within the manufacturer’s recommended shelf life.
Because the product contains petroleum distillates, factories should follow standard workplace chemical handling practices, including adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment during application. Shelf life and specific storage recommendations vary by batch and packaging format, so fabricators should always confirm current shelf life, recommended storage conditions, and any handling precautions against the latest technical data sheet and SDS for the specific batch of OXBOND 102 they are working with.
Why High-Temperature Performance Matters for Demolding Wax
Standard-grade release waxes are not always formulated to hold up under sustained heat exposure, which can occur during exothermic resin cure or when molds are used repeatedly in warm production environments. When a release wax breaks down early under these conditions, the result is often surface tack, reduced gloss, or an unexpected release failure mid-production.
Because it has been specially formulated to adapt to high-temperature use, it is generally considered by fabricators who need a release wax that maintains consistent performance across repeated demolding cycles under warmer shop conditions. This is particularly relevant for processes such as RTM, filament winding, and mandrel procedures, where mold surfaces can be exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods.
Selecting a wax with the appropriate heat tolerance for a given process is one of several factors fabricators typically weigh alongside ease of application and compatibility with their existing production workflow. Evaluating this fit before a full production changeover can help avoid unplanned downtime from inconsistent release performance.
