In the construction industry, mold release agents are significantly used in the production of concrete and other building materials to prevent sticking and ensure smooth surfaces. Rising infrastructure, especially in emerging economies, is also increasing the product demand. To cite an example, in March 2024, Cold Jet launched a dry ice cleaning technology to offer composite manufacturers various solutions for cleaning tooling, surfaces, and preparing parts for painting or bonding. The advancements of mold removal technologies, such as the development of eco- friendly waterproofing products is further gaining momentum due to rising regulatory pressure and consumer demand for sustainable products.
However, environmental and health concerns associated with certain chemical components, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are increasingly subject to stringent regulations, may deter the product uptake. Compliance with these regulations requires significant investment in the development and validation of eco- friendly alternatives, which can be expensive and demand extensive R&D activities. The high cost of advanced mold releases, especially those designed to be eco- friendly or highly specialized, can also be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses.
