Loctite® Frekote® HMT-2 is a hot mold touch up version of
Frekote 55-NC and is formulated for use on molds with

HMT-2 continues to offer the same multiple releases per
application as experi enced wit h the other Frekote products. For
c on s tan t mold t emp er at u res o v er 60 ° C ( 14 0 ° F), Fr ek o t e H MT - 2
performs effectively on its own.

Mold Preparation
The mold surface must be clean and free of any non Frekote
release agents or other contaminants for Frekote HMT-2 to be
completely effective. Remove any contaminants with Frekote
PMC, PMC Plus or suitable cleaning solvent. Light industrial
abrasives can be used to remove heavy resin build up. No mold
preparation is required when HMT-2 is used as a touch up coat
over another Frekote Product.
Appli cation *Consult MSDS prior to use.*
Frekote HMT-2 is intended as a touch up on mold surfaces
above 60°C (140°F) and applied by spraying or brushing. For
spraying use conventional equipm ent ensuring a dry air source
or an airless spray system. Frekote HMT-2 dri es very rapidly at
elevated temperatures. Care should be taken to ensure
c omplete coverage.
Touch-up
Spray or brush on one thin wet film coating over the enti re mold
s ur face or on th e area t hat i s experiencing di fficult relea se.
Constant Use
1. If using Frekote HMT-2 as a releasing system on its own,
apply a t hin wet continuous film c oating the enti re m old. It
is suggested that small areas be coated working
progressively from one side of the mold to the other.
2. For the initial application 4 – 6 coats are recommended,
allowing a few minutes between coats for solvent
evaporation.
3. After the final coat, curing is completed through solvent
evaporation and ready for production.
4. Maximum releases will be obtained as the mold surface
becomes conditioned to Frekote HMT-2. Performance is
enhanced by recoating once, after the first few initial
moldings.
Flammability/Storage
Frekote HMT-2 contains flammable solvents. The product
should always be used i n well -ventil ated areas. Store in a cool
dry place. Consult MSDS for complete details.
