release agent

Prevents sticking surfaces

A release agent is a substance applied to surfaces to prevent materials from sticking during manufacturing or cooking.

In industrial contexts, release agents keep molded plastics, concrete, or rubber from bonding to their molds.

In baking, butter or cooking spray serves as a release agent to keep cakes from sticking to pans: Grease the pan with a release agent before pouring the batter.
