Technical Data Sheet

FK55 Mold Release Sheets combine textile and chemical technology to create an easy-to-use method of applying mold release agents. The 2-ply sheets provide an ideal amount of mold release agent for a typical application. Each sheet is saturated with the proven mold release agent, Henkel's Frekote® 55-NC. This ready-to-use product efficiently controls solvent use and application.

FK55 can be applied to mold surfaces at room temperature up to 60°C (140°F). Always use in a well ventilated area. Store in a cool, dry place.

1. Only a thin wet film is required. Wipe on a smooth, thin, continuous wet film. Avoid wiping over the same area that was just coated until the solvents have evaporated. It is suggested that small areas be coated working progressively from one side of the mold to the other.

2. Initially, apply 2-3 base coats allowing 5 minutes between coats for solvent evaporation.

3. Curing of the final coat takes 30 minutes at room temperature and can be shortened by baking the mold for only 5 minutes at 100°C-150°C (210°F-300°F).

4. Maximum releases will be obtained as the mold surface becomes conditioned to FK55. Performance is enhanced by recoating once, after the first few initial pulls.

5. When any release difficulty is experienced, the area in question can then be "touched-up" by re-coating the entire surface or by coating those areas where release difficulty is occurring.
