GruberCare 2-IN-1 Combination Time Saver is a high solids, high slip semi-permanent polymer release product. Its function is to save time both in establishing the release foundation and effectively maintaining that foundation during the production life of the tool. Since the inception of semi permanent release technology, it has been customary to first apply several coats of Sealer, each requiring 15 minutes to cure, before applying several coats of Top Coat Release and again waiting for each to cure for 15 minutes. This has been true for both MR 2 in 1 and other semi permanent systems as well. Some industries may find this standard to perform best, however, most will find they can apply the same foundation for their needs in only three coats of MR 2 in 1. This should reduce the time spent in preparing a new tool by half. Most tools should take no more than 60 minutes to make ready for production.

GruberCare Interphase Wax is a liquid blend of high-melting point waxes formulated as an interphase release to minimize dulling wax build-up caused by continuous use of Release Wax. When used in conjunction with GruberCare Release/Indicated Wax, time between mold strippings can be extended significantly. Use Interphase Wax approximately every 10 castings or when dulling wax build-up begins to appear on the mold surface.

GruberCare Flange Wax is a blend of tough, low luster waxes formulated for use on flanges, mold boxes, backsplash doors, hinges, and female hats or any spot where easy release of marble matrix is more important than the finish obtained. When properly applied, flange wax will simplify mold clean-up, minimize repairs and extens mold life.
