Chemlease Mold Release Agents for Composites

Product Description
Mold
Cleaner
An excellent blend of solvents designed to dissolve and remove wax from composite molds. Also excellent for cleaning brushes, rollers, and other equipment.
15 A semi-permanent mold sealer for new molds, micro-porosity, and repair areas. #15 mold sealer is excellent for breaking in new, or reconditioned composite molds.
PMR A semi-permanent, multiple release, high gloss system for gel coated composite parts. PMR provides the highest gloss possible from high gloss tooling. Ideal for general fiberglass and cultured marble tubs.
75 #75 High Gloss, Semi-permanent Mold Release Agent is ideal for cultured marble. #75 can be used with most (double and single sided) tapes, clays and waxes. #75 is also recommended for most high gloss marine applications.
41-90 A semi-permanent, multiple release, system that provides a matte to satin finish for parts where a high gloss is not desired. 41-90 is available for aggressive drafts, or for closed molded applications where high chemical aggression is common (DCPD). 41-90 is recommended for non-gel coated composite applications, such as : solid surface, and RTM.
FC 500 An excellent mold sealer/release agent for wood plugs and masters, as well as for releasing urethanes.

Product Benefits:
  • Eliminates use of wax.
  • Reduces labor costs.
  • Provides excellent gloss while keeping fine detail.
  • Allows multiple molding cycles between applications.


    Application Instructions:
    (wiping)
    1. Mold surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of wax, release agents, and sealers.
    2. Surface should be dry and free of contaminates.
    3. Saturate clean cotton cloth (not dripping) and wipe on a smooth continuous film of no more than a few square feet at a time.
    4. While film is still wet wipe the surface with a second clean dry cotton cloth until film is left dry and clear.
    5. Repeat above procedures until entire mold surface is covered.
    6. Apply a minimum of five coats allowing one to two minutes dry time for each.
    Note: A touch up coat should be applied after the first five to six cycles to ensure proper conditioning of the mold when it is initially put into production.
      (spraying)
      1. Mold surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of wax, release agents, and sealers.
      2. To apply by spraying use a hand held manual spray bottle or a dry air system. It is important that all containers and spray lines by thoroughly clean and dry.
      3. Keep spray nozzle 10 to 15 inches from mold surface and apply smooth, thin continuous film. Do not allow to run or drip by over applying. 4. While film is still wet wipe the surface with a second clean dry cotton cloth until film is left dry and clear.
      5. Repeat above procedures until entire mold surface is covered.
      6. Apply a minimum of five coats allowing one to two minutes dry time for each.
      Note: A touch up coat should be applied after the first five to six cycles to ensure proper conditioning of the mold when it is initially put into production.

        Troubleshooting Tips:
        1. Keep container closed at all times when not in use. Material is susceptible to reaction with moisture in atmosphere.
        2. Mold must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before application.
        Note: A good test is to use a small piece of masking tape on the CLEAN mold surface to ensure that there is sufficient resistance when removing the tape. After applying the mold release, the same tape test can be used to check for missed spots. Tape should release with very little resistance if mold release has been properly applied.
        3. Material should be clear with no noticeable precipitate. If cloudy or milky, material is contaminated.
        4. Areas of application should be well ventilated.
        5. Strenuous buffing of the mold surface can remove the Polyester Mold Release due to excessive friction.
        6. Patches from mold repairs should be allowed to cure thoroughly as styrene gas off can attack the Mold Release film if it is applied to a patch that is still "green" (uncured).
