Multiboard FP 1500 is a concentrate for the production of a release agent for the wood-based panel industry. It can be diluted with the addition of water.

The German lubricant specialist and solution provider, Zeller+Gmelin, presented its broad product portfolio of wood release agents at Ligna. Release agents play an important role in the manufacturing process of oriented strand boards (OSB), medium-density and other fibre boards.

With more than 700 different industrial lubricants, Zeller+Gmelin has proven its competence and innovative strength in the wood-based panel industry.

“Under the brand name Multiboard, we have a wide selection of high-quality release agents for the woodworking industry,” says Markus Mühleisen, Product Manager (Wood Release Agents) at Zeller+Gmelin.

Each product in the Multiboard range is developed to fit a customer’s specific manufacturing process. This ultimately leads to having a broad portfolio of release agents.

This is why about 20% of the employees at the headquarters in Eislingen work in research and development. For the production of OSB, MDF and fibre board, a wide range of release agents are available, independent of the gluing system, which are used in both spray and rotor applications.

Multiboard FP 1500 has been developed to meet the specific requirements of the wood-based panel industry. The product has excellent wetting properties and excellent storage stability.

In addition, it is free of substances that interfere with lacquer wetting. The release agent is applied by spraying or by means of rotor application.

“With this product, our customers benefit from first-class separation performance, where even the smallest application quantities are sufficient,” explains Markus.
