GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen

and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as

a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.

For safe handling information on this product, consult the

Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Mold Preparation

Cleaning:

Mold surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and dried. All traces

of prior release must be removed. This may be accomplished

by using Loctite

Frekote

PMC or other suitable cleaner.

Loctite

Frekote

915WB™ or light abrasives can be used for

heavy build-up.

Directions for use:

Loctite

Frekote

B-15™ can be applied to mold surfaces

by spraying, brushing, dipping or wiping with a clean, lint

free, cotton wiping cloth. When spraying, ensure a dry air

source is used or use an airless spray system making

sure the nozzles is 20 to 25 cm from the mold surface.

2. Brushing and dipping are effective methods of application,

but care should be taken to avoid excessive pooling and

to ensure that the part is well drained. Wiping on is the

best method of application.

3. Only a thin wet film is required. It is suggested that small

areas be coated, working progressively from one mold to

the other.

4. Apply a minimum of two coats, allowing 30 minutes

between coats.

5. The final coat will cure within 24 hours at 23°C or the cure

process can be shortened by baking the mold for 60

minutes at 95°C after ensuring that the mold is dry and all

sovents have flashed off.

6. The mold is now ready to be coated with Frekote mold

release products. Please refer to individual product data

sheets for the proper application of the release agent.

Mold Touch up

Touch up coats with a sealer should only be applied to areas

where the mold was repaired. On repaired areas apply the

same number of sealer and release agent coats like for the

base coating onto new or refurbished molds.
