Evercoat PVA Mold Release: Professional-Grade Gel Coat Separation

When fiberglass fabrication and repair demand a clean, reliable parting layer, professionals reach for Evercoat — a brand with roots going back to 1953, when its founding formulations were developed specifically for the marine market. That deep expertise in fiberglass chemistry is exactly what makes Evercoat's mold release products a trusted choice for boatbuilders, marine repair technicians, and composite fabricators alike.

What Evercoat PVA Mold Release Does

At the heart of Evercoat's mold release lineup is its PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Mold Release — part number 105685. This water-soluble liquid mold release agent is used to release molds when sprayed with gel coat. But its usefulness extends beyond simple mold separation: it also removes tackiness on a non-waxed gel coat , making it a dual-purpose solution for both mold fabrication workflows and surface finishing tasks.

Evercoat PVA Mold Release is a water-soluble liquid mold release that forms a smooth parting film, allowing a glossy finish on molded surfaces. This product promotes complete cure of polyester gel coat — a critical benefit when working with open-air laminates that are prone to surface inhibition.

How to Use It

Application is straightforward, which is part of its appeal. The product is used for curing Evercoat Premium Polyester Gel-Kote — simply apply by spraying a light "mist coating" over the catalyzed Gel-Kote products, which allows a full cure at the surface and eliminates the tacky feel. This spray-on method gives the user consistent, even coverage without overuse of material — an important consideration when maintaining dimensional accuracy in precision mold work.

Why Choose Evercoat for Mold Release?

Evercoat, part of Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) Global Body Repair Division, began as Fibre-Glass Evercoat in 1953, when its first formulations were developed in Cincinnati and sold throughout the US, primarily to the marine market. That heritage gives Evercoat an unusually deep understanding of polyester resin and gel coat chemistry — knowledge that directly informs even their ancillary products like mold release agents.

Evercoat remains an innovation leader in the industry, holding over 35 U.S. and foreign patents , and is proudly manufactured in Blue Ash, Ohio . Whether you are working on a fiberglass boat hull, a custom marine part, or a composite automotive panel, Evercoat's PVA Mold Release integrates seamlessly into a professional gel coat workflow and delivers consistent, repeatable results.

For anyone serious about clean mold pulls and tack-free gel coat surfaces, Evercoat's mold release products represent a time-tested, professionally vetted solution backed by decades of fiberglass chemistry expertise.
