Product Description
LOCTITE® FREKOTE® WOLO is a clear, colorless, solvent-based polymeric mold release agent for fiberglass-reinforced plastic and polyester-resin molding. Its wipe-on-leave-on application forms a thin, uniform coating without a separate polishing step. The moisture-sensitive material cures at room temperature and provides a high-gloss finish with multiple releases and minimal mold buildup. Because the formulation includes mold-sealing capability, fully cured molds can be prepared without a separate sealer by applying the documented coating sequence. Initial application requires at least four coats, with five minutes between coats and a 15-minute final cure at 20°C.
Key features
- Wipe-on-leave-on application: Applied with a lint-free cloth and left on the mold surface to evaporate and cure.
- High-gloss finish: Produces a high-gloss finish on FRP polyester parts without a separate polishing step.
- Integrated mold-sealing capability: Can seal fully cured molds when the documented additional-coat procedure is followed.
- Fast room-temperature cure: Requires five minutes between coats and a 15-minute final-coat cure at 20°C.
- Multiple-release performance: Supports multiple releases with minimal mold buildup under the recommended application conditions.
Applications / Suitable for
- Fiberglass-reinforced plastic molds
- Polyester-resin molding processes
- High-gloss FRP polyester parts
- Fully cured molds requiring combined sealing and release treatment
- Touch-up of complete molds or localized high-wear areas
