PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

LOCTITE^® FREKOTE 55-NC™ provides the following product characteristics:

LOCTITE^® FREKOTE 55-NC™ is a release agent where a non-transferring release is necessary. This semi-permanent, non-migratory release system chemically bonds to the mold surface to form a micro thin film which is stable at temperatures exceeding most molding processes. LOCTITE^® FREKOTE 55-NC™ can be used for the release of epoxies, polyester resins, thermoplastics, adhesives, and rotationally molded plastics.

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 Loctite^® Frekote^® PMC or other suitable cleaner.  Loctite^® Frekote^® 915WB™ or light abrasives can be used for heavy build-up.

Sealing New/Repaired Molds:

Occasionally, green or freshly repaired molds are rushed into service prior to complete cure causing an increased amount of free styrene on the mold surface. Fresh or "production line" repairs, new fiberglass and epoxy molds should be cured per manufacturer's instructions, usually a minimum of 2 -3 weeks at 22°C before starting full-scale production.

Fully cured previously unused molds should be sealed before use. This can be accomplished by applying one  to  two  coats  of an  appropriate Frekote^® mold sealer, following the directions for use instructions. Allow full cure of the appropriate Frekote^® mold sealer before you apply the first coat of LOCTITE^® FREKOTE 55-NC™ as outlined in the directions of use.
