Rocky, you said "release agent", but I think that is what he's asking. What IS that release agent? I know many plastics that are molded are formulated to sort of make their own oil/release agent, as they cure, just to make this easy for manufacturers, but I couldn't tell you CHEMICALLY what it is.
It's a good question, because, for instance, those ubiquitous plastic bags from the grocery stores are actually coated with a very thin layer of purified animal fat; just cleaned up slaughterhouse waste.
It ain't WD-40, though.
