A high production paste wax mold release with excellent breakdown characteristics for fast, even coverage. A firm
carnauba based mold release paste wax blended with other synthetic waxes for use in various thermo-set composite
molding applications.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
High carnauba wax content polishes to high gloss without streaking
Good heat and chemical resistance properties
Easy application and wipe off characteristics
Reduced wax build up and styrene accumulation
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
Dry Time: 5-10 minutes@ 72 F. Varies depending on working temperature
Specific Gravity: .80-.82 (approx. 6.75lbs./Gal)
Wax Melting or Softening Point: 185 – 200 F (85 – 93 C)
Color: Off-white
USES:
As a release agent for composite molding on all FRP tooling, metal and other hard surface molds.
Open mold hand or spray lay up
Resin Transfer/injection (RTM) & (RIM)
Vacuum bag and compression molding
Polyester & epoxy resins
NOTE: Check suitability when heat curing or higher temperature molding above 200 F (93 C)
APPLICATION:
On new or reconditioned tooling, suggest use of our sealer glaze TR -301 or TR-910 semi-permanent sealer prior to
waxing for added release, gloss and mold life. Apply wax with sponge applicator in thin even circular motion to the mold
surface. Allow to haze dry (approx. 5-10 min) depending on ambient temperature and polish wipe to gloss finish with soft
cloth (do not use microfiber cloth). For new or reconditioned molds, apply a minimum of 6 coats of paste wax, waiting
approximately 30-60 minutes between applications for the wax to set & harden after the polish wipe. Best results are
obtained, if after application, mold is allowed to stand overnight and a subsequent final coat of wax release applied the
following day prior to gel coating. Follow with a coat of wax for the first 2-3 parts released. Then determine how many
parts can be effectively produced before re-waxing is required. This will vary depending on molding condition,
configuration, resin, mold cycles, effective cure of production gel coat and other factors.
STORAGE AND PRECAUTIONS:
Flammable solid, store in a cool dry place and keep in original unopened container. Keep away from spark, open flame
or other sources of ignition.
