LOCTITE FREKOTE 700-NC is a semi-permanent mold release agent formulated for high-temperature composite molding, tolerating mold surface temperatures up to 135°C. For FRP factories, pultrusion lines, and filament winding manufacturers running elevated-temperature cure cycles, LOCTITE FREKOTE 700-NC is designed to build a durable release film that withstands repeated thermal cycling.

How LOCTITE FREKOTE 700-NC Is Applied
It can be applied to mold surfaces at room temperature up to 135°C by spraying, brushing, or wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth. When spraying, a dry air source or an airless spray system should be used, and the product should always be applied in a well-ventilated area. A smooth, thin, continuous wet film should be wiped or sprayed on, avoiding recoating the same area until the solvent has evaporated; when spraying, the nozzle should be held 20 to 30 cm from the mold surface, working progressively across small areas.
Initially, 2 to 3 base coats are applied, allowing 5 to 10 minutes between coats for solvent evaporation, and the final coat is allowed to cure for 15 to 20 minutes at 22°C. Maximum release performance is obtained as the mold surface becomes conditioned to this release agent, and performance can be enhanced by re-coating once after the first few initial pulls. If release difficulty is experienced, the affected area can be touched up by re-coating the entire mold or just the problem areas.
Handling Precautions
This release agent is moisture sensitive, so containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use, and the product should always be used in a well-ventilated area. Users of closed mold systems, such as rotomolding, must confirm that solvent evaporation is complete and that all solvent vapors have been ventilated from the mold cavity before closing the mold; an oil-free compressed air source can help speed solvent evaporation and cavity ventilation.
Why Sourcing Consistency Matters
Inconsistent coat count or cure timing can lead to uneven release performance and surface defects, especially in high-temperature cure processes common to FRP pipe and tank, filament winding, and pultrusion production. Buyers who source this release agent through a documented supply chain reduce the risk of receiving mismatched batches with inconsistent solvent content or thermal performance.
Where to Source LOCTITE FREKOTE 700-NC
Composite material buyers can source LOCTITE FREKOTE 700-NC and related auxiliary agent products through Thousands Technology’s supply chain resource support, which helps FRP factories, boat builders, and pultrusion manufacturers maintain consistent access to recommended international brand products for high-temperature mold release. For handling and safety classification references used across composite manufacturing, buyers can also review ASTM standards and publications.
Documentation
Before specifying this product into a production process, buyers should request the current Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet to confirm properties, coat schedule, and handling requirements for their mold materials and cure temperatures.
