LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® is a unique combination of a wax and a Frekote® semi-permanent polymer release agent. This combination provides the user with the advantages of an easy-to-apply liquid wax and the multiple release performance of a polymer resin. By incorporating a wax into the formulation, a visible film is produced that enables easy, user-friendly application and complete mold coverage. Using LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® provides significant process and labor savings through better mold utilization.

1. Shake or stir LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® before use.
2. Apply LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® with a clean, lint free, cotton wiping cloth. Wet the cloth with LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® until it is damp but not dripping.
3. Starting at one end of the mold, wipe a generous wet film over a 91 X 91cm area. Repeat until mold is completely covered.
4. Allow LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® to haze (dry). This usually takes 5 to 10 minutes at 21°C with good ventilation.
5. Check mold for any region that appears uncoated (where haze is not present). If any uncoated areas are observed, reapply product in the above manner.
6. With a clean, lint free, cotton wiping cloth, polish the LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® coated mold until a high gloss is obtained. Change cloth frequently to ensure wax build-up on the cloth is not re-deposited on the mold.
7. Repeat steps another 3 times to give a total of 4 coats. This multiple coat system allows the Frekote® resin to seal any mold pores and give a sufficient film thickness to permit multiple releases.
8. After the final film has been polished, the mold is ready for use.
9. NOTE: For large molds (>305 X 305 cm), polishing is generally easier if coating and polishing are accomplished in stages. For example, coat a 305 X 305 cm area, allow to haze, and polish. Repeat with the next area, until entire mold is coated.
10. NOTE: Application of LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® at mold temperatures above 35 °C may cause streaking.
11. Apply LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® with a clean, lint free, cotton wiping cloth. Soak cloth with LOCTITE® FREKOTE Frewax® until it is damp but not dripping
