Advantages and disadvantages of each line

Depending on the water-solvent ratio, the advantages and disadvantages of each component become more apparent.

For example, a 30% solvent-based hybrid release agent will have only 30% VOC emissions compared to 90% VOC emissions for a Class II or Class III solvent-based release agent. In contrast, compared to a water-based release agent that can have 0% VOC emissions, the hybrid will maintain a dry part finish with no greasy residue.
