LOCTITE® FREKOTE R-180™ offers excellent release and Mold Touch up

Touch up coats should only be applied to areas where poor
slip properties and is recommended for the most release is noticed and should be applied using the same
demanding molding applications, especially for highly abrasive method as base coats. This will reduce the possibility of
compounds. When properly applied to a preheated surface, release agent or polymer build-up. The frequency of touch ups
this water based product chemically bonds to the mold surface will depend on the polymer type, mold configuration, and
to form a thin, inert, thermally stable coating capable of abrasion parameters.
