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 Frekote

PMC or other suitable cleaner. Frekote

915WB™ or light abrasives can be used for heavy build-up.

Full curing of green/new molds is highly recommended to

ensure optimal performance of the sealer.

Directions for use:

Apply LOCTITE

FREKOTE FMS™ with a clean, lint free,

cotton wiping cloth. Wet the cloth with LOCTITE

FREKOTE FMS™ until it is damp but not dripping.

Wipe a smooth, wet film over the entire mold surface. For

larger molds, apply LOCTITE

FREKOTE FMS™ to the

surface one section at a time starting at one end and

working towards the other. Using a clean cloth, wipe off

the area that was just treated to obtain a smooth thin wet

layer.

3. Allow a minimum of 15 minutes before applying next coat.

New molds require 1 to 2 coats of sealer.

4. NOTE: Changes in temperature will affect solvent dry

time. At temperatures below 18°C, waiting time between

wiping on and drying off can be slightly longer than 20

seconds. At higher then normal temperatures (greater

then 35°C) the wait time is significantly reduced and can

be as quick as 1 to 2 seconds. In these conditions it is

also advisable to reduce your wipe area to eliminate

streaking due to the increased solvent evaporation and

polymer cure times. A general guideline is to wait until the

edges of the wiped area begins to creep inwards

indicating the evaporation has just begun. Wipe from the

outside and slowly work your way towards the center.

Light hand pressure is all that is needed. No hard rubbing

required. change cloth frequently to ensure proper drying

of the mold. On small molds, allow up to 15 minutes

between coats. If one coat takes more than 15 minutes,

simply go back to starting point and begin to apply next

coat. .

5. Allow the final coat to cure for 20 minutes at 20°C.
