Technical Data Sheet

FK710 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® 710-NC. This ready-to-use product efficiently controls solvent use and application.

FK44 can be applied to mold surfaces at room temperature up to 135°C (275°F). If gel coats are used, a wipe-on-wipe-off method of application is recommended in order to achieve a high gloss finish. If possible, warm the mold prior to applying FK710 to approximately 50°C (120°F) to drive off any moisture entrapped on the mold surface. 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 a minimum of 2 coats allowing 5-10 minutes between coats for complete solvent evaporation. The film should be dry and not tacky.

3. Once the final coat is applied, the coating should be cured at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

4. Maximum releases will be obtained as the mold surface becomes conditioned to FK710. Performance is enhanced by recoating once, after the first few initial pulls.
