Water Soluble Film for
MOULD RELEASE APPLICATIONS 

  • INFHIDRO manufactures high-performance PVOH water soluble film for mould release under the brand HIDROMOULD®, specifically engineered for artificial stone, engineered agglomerate stone and solid surface manufacturing.

  • HIDROMOULD® creates a controlled temporary separation layer between the curing material and the mould surface, enabling clean demoulding without residue, surface contamination or post-processing defects.

  • Designed to withstand the mechanical and thermal demands of industrial production environments, HIDROMOULD® PVOH film for mould release provides stable performance during curing cycles and ensures consistent surface quality across repetitive production runs.

  • The film can be tailored in thickness, width and roll format to integrate seamlessly into both small-batch production and high-volume automated industrial lines.

  • Compared to traditional liquid mould release agents, HIDROMOULD® offers improved process consistency, reduced cleaning operations and simplified waste management, while remaining fully water-soluble for easy removal.

Water Soluble Film for Mould Release Applications (HIDROMOULD)

Industrial Integration of HIDROMOULD®

  • HIDROMOULD® PVOH film for mould release integrates easily into artificial marble and engineered stone production lines.

  • Compatible with resin-based and cement-based formulations, the film maintains stable performance during curing cycles while preserving surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

  • Available in customised roll formats and calibrated thicknesses for both manual and automated industrial processes.

PVOH Film for Mold Release in Action

Water Soluble Film for Artificial Stone and Solid Surface Mould Release HIDROMOULD®

Series Model Application / Main Use Format Thickness Temperature Dissolution Time
Cold Water EMBR Synthetic marble and panels Roll 30 - 100 μm Cold (≥ 5°C) 30s (at 20°C - 30°C)
Hot Water EHCQ Engineered stone and solid surface Roll 15 - 100 μm Hot (≥ 50°C - 63°C) Complete at ~63°C

Unlike waxes or liquid release agents, HIDROMOULD® acts as a continuous physical barrier of uniform thickness that leaves no residue on the part and does not contaminate the mold surface. This eliminates aggressive post-demolding cleaning operations, ensures dimensional accuracy, and provides a flawless finish ready for subsequent treatments.

Being a 100% water-soluble polymer (PVOH), applying water via spray, shower, or immersion is sufficient. The film dissolves cleanly without generating microplastics or requiring manual scraping, reducing cycle times in the plant.

Yes. HIDROMOULD® is manufactured in roll formats with adjustable widths and thicknesses (from 15 to 100 microns), perfectly adapting to small-batch manual production as well as highly automated continuous forming lines.
