LOCTITE

Frekote

CS-123™ is designed to form a thick,

inert, thermally stable coating that is compatible with most

solvent-based Frekote

release agents. This product can be

used to seal larger mold perosities. Application and use of this

mold sealer utilizing the wipe-on-leave-on technique produces

a durable coating with no need to polish. The solvents are a

mix of isopropyl alcohol and several high boiling point

hydrocarbons, resulting in a safer formula than products based

on toluene or other more hazardous solvents.

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 container thoroughly before use.

Apply LOCTITE

Frekote

CS-123™ with a clean, lint

free, cotton wiping cloth. Wet the cloth with LOCTITE

Frekote

CS-123™ until it is damp but not dripping.

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

larger molds, apply LOCTITE

Frekote

CS-123™ to the

surface one section at a time starting at one end and

working towards the other. Continue to work the material

into the mold by lightly wiping the wet film (10-30

seconds) until a thin and uniform coating is obtained, and

then allow the product to evaporate.

4. Allow a minimum of 5 minutes before applying next coat.

Apply a minimum of four coats in this manner. Dampen

cloth lightly as needed.

5. Allow the final coat to cure for 2 hours at 20°C.

6. NOTE: If the cloth dries out during your coating process,

use a fresh clean cloth to apply the next coat. This

prevents resin accumulation on the cloth from being

deposited on the mold surface. If streaking occurs,

replace the cloth with a clean dry one and/or make sure

that the cloth is just damp and not soaking wet. Avoid

over-application, as this will cause streaking on the tooling

surface. Streaks or wipe lines can be removed easily by

wiping the mold surface lightly with a dry cloth. Product is

moisture sensitive, keep container tightly closed when not

in use.

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.
