Collinite 900 Mold release wax

FK1000p is another mold-release product which had made a successful transition to alternative use in the detailing industry.

from what i recall of my days in the boat manufacturing industry, our mild release waxes contained bees wax. we used a lot of M08, but i can't remember if it had bees wax or not. the addition of beeswax is maybe what sets mold release waxes apart from traditional carnuaba.

FWIW, we also used PVA quite a bit when making small parts. it was like a green vinyl that acted as the release agent but it was applies thinly with a sponge. dried to a vinyl that just peeled away. it was a lot easier to work with than mold release wax. imagine being the only guy waxing the mold of a 58 foot yacht!

It's amazing how many automotive Carnauba Waxes are a blend of a
varying amount of beeswax, paraffin wax, and petroleum distillates.

This allows the Carnauba Wax to be soft enough to be spread and removed. This "blending"
also provides for maximum protection and durability...and, as some will attest: Beading.

One such carnauba wax that quickly comes to mind is P21S Concours Carnauba Wax.
