LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

is a unique combination of a

wax and a Frekote

semi-permanent polymer release agent.

This combination provides the user with the advantages of an

easy-to-apply liquid wax and the multiple release performance

of a polymer resin. By incorporating a wax into the formulation,

a visible film is produced that enables easy, user-friendly

application and complete mold coverage. Using LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

provides significant process and labor

savings through better mold utilization.

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.

Directions for use:

1. Shake or stir LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

before use.

2. Apply LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

with a clean, lint

free, cotton wiping cloth. Wet the cloth with LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

until it is damp but not dripping.

3. Starting at one end of the mold, wipe a generous wet film

over a 91 X 91cm area. Repeat until mold is completely

covered.

4. Allow LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

to haze (dry). This

usually takes 5 to 10 minutes at 21°C with good ventilation.

5. Check mold for any region that appears uncoated (where

haze is not present). If any uncoated areas are observed,

reapply product in the above manner.

6. With a clean, lint free, cotton wiping cloth, polish the

LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

coated mold until a high gloss

is obtained. Change cloth frequently to ensure wax build-up

on the cloth is not re-deposited on the mold.

7. Repeat steps another 3 times to give a total of 4 coats.

This multiple coat system allows the Frekote

resin to seal

any mold pores and give a sufficient film thickness to permit

multiple releases.

8. After the final film has been polished, the mold is ready for

use.

9. NOTE: For large molds (>305 X 305 cm), polishing is

generally easier if coating and polishing are accomplished in

stages. For example, coat a 305 X 305 cm area, allow to

haze, and polish. Repeat with the next area, until entire mold

is coated.

10. NOTE: Application of LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

mold temperatures above 35 °C may cause streaking.

11. Apply LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

with a clean, lint

free, cotton wiping cloth. Soak cloth with LOCTITE

FREKOTE Frewax

until it is damp but not dripping.

Mold Touch up

Abrasion will gradually cause wear and parts will begin to

adhere to the mold surface if a continuous release film is not

maintained. It's best to always touch-up the mold at the first

sign of diminished release, before release becomes difficult.

Simply touch-up the entire mold or apply spot touch-ups to high

wear areas following steps 1-3 under directions for use. Only 1

coat is usually required for touch-up. Typically, 15 minutes cure

time is required prior to resumption of molding.
