Zyvax Release Coatings History

Zyvax has a continuous track record of release coating performance across an array of industries, a history of acknowledged innovation. From creating the first line of solvent-free and environmentally friendly slipcoat products, to the first solvent-based variable release coating integrated product system, we have earned our reputation for leading edge manufacturing process solutions.

1960 - Zyvax CEO and founder Nancy Layman creates the first semi-permanent resin-based release coating - an industry first - that enabled molders from all industries to increase production while reducing costs and improving the quality of their molded parts.

1987 - Zyvax's team of chemists and scientists formulate a new generation of semi-permanent release coatings to provide even better performance without any hazardous materials or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These were the first-ever waterborne, cross-linking polymer resins designed to protect mold surfaces while providing long-lasting multiple release performance.

1989 - Zyvax's full line of non-chlorinated, solvent-based mold release coatings achieve breakthrough status as the first solutions to meet all government requirements.

1999 - The WaterWorks Aerospace Release System debuts - a comprehensive slipcoat system that meets aerospace production requirements while eliminating all pollutants.

2001 - WaterWorks wins the Worldwide Innovation Award as BEST MOLD RELEASE at JEC-PARIS

2002 - WaterWorks earns AQMD CERTIFICATION as the only mold release coating system to meet air quality management district standards.

2004 - Flex-Z a groundbreaking family of release coating products that puts new, more precise control in molders' hands by allowing self-customized levels of release - is launched.

From creating the first line of solvent-free and environmentally friendly slipcoat products, to the first solvent-based variable release integrated product system, Zyvax has earned a global reputation for an affinity to leading edge manufacturing process solutions.
