One of the downsides of using Silicone oils or emulsions as a release agent is that the material you’ve released from the mould can’t be printed on or painted until the silicone oil has been cleaned off. The very nature of silicone oil, that it’s a non-poler, slippy polymer, means that any paint or ink wouldn’t penetrate the layer of oil, or would mix in with it. DC 2418 emulsion not only allows printing and painting of post-moulded products, thanks to Ethylated Silicone oil (and some other ingredients) but as it’s an emulsion, it’s as easy to use as traditional Silicone Emulsions.
