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).
Directions for use
1.
LOCTITE
®
Frekote PMC™ should be applied to the mold
surface with a clean lint free cloth.
2.
Wax and other mold residue will immediately begin to
dissolve and should be removed from the surface with a
second clean cloth while it is still dissolved in the
LOCTITE
®
Frekote PMC™.
3. As the cloth becomes saturated with wax and mold
residue, dispose of it and use a new cloth.
4. Repeat process until composite and other mold residue is
removed.
5. The mold is now ready for use.
6. NOTE: A simple test to assess mold cleanliness is the
use of masking tape. A coated surface will allow easy
release of masking tape, where as a wax free surface will
allow good adhesion of masking tape. This test can also
be used to determine the effectiveness of Frekote
®
Release Interfaces. A good interface will prevent any
significant degree of tape adhesion.
