Mold Preparation
The mold surface must be clean and free of any release agent
or other contaminants for Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT to be
completely effective. Remove any contaminants with Loctite
®
Frekote
®
PMC or another suitable cleaning solvent. Light
industrial abrasives can be used to remove heavy resin build
up. No mold preparation is required when HMT is used as a
touch up coat over another Loctite
®
Frekote
®
Product.
Note: For porous or repaired molds, a Loctite
®
Frekote
®
Sealer should be used - technical data is available.
Consult with your Henkel Representative for

Touch up Application *Consult MSDS prior to use*
Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT is intended as a touch up on mold surfaces
above 60°C (140°F) and applied by spraying or brushing. For
spraying use conventional equipment, insuring a dry, oil free air
source is used. Spray or brush on one thin wet film coating on the
area that has a difficult release.
Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT dries very rapidly at elevated temperatures.
Care should be taken to ensure complete coverage.
Release Application
1. If using Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT as a releasing system on its
own, apply a thin wet continuous film coating the entire mold. 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. If using
as a touch up coat over another Loctite
®
Frekote
®
product, only
one light, uniform coat is needed.
3. After the final coat, curing is completed through solvent
evaporation and ready for production within a few minutes.
4. Maximum releases will be obtained as the mold surface
becomes conditioned to Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT. Performance
is enhanced by re-coating once, after the first few initial pulls.
Flammability/Storage
Loctite
®
Frekote
®
HMT contains flammable solvents. The product
should always be used in well-ventilated areas. Consult MSDS for
