FAQs

What is Frekote B-15 used for?

Frekote B-15 is a mold sealer designed for preparing metal molds that have micro porosity, fine scratches, or minor surface imperfections. It serves as a base coat to improve overall mold release performance, particularly when used in conjunction with other Frekote semi-permanent release agents.

How does Frekote B-15 improve mold release performance?

Frekote B-15 seals small surface defects and micro porosity in metal molds, creating a more uniform substrate. This sealed surface enhances the effectiveness of subsequent release coatings, helping achieve cleaner part release and improved surface finish during molding operations.

Is Frekote B-15 a standalone release agent?

Frekote B-15 is primarily intended as a mold sealer and base coat rather than a standalone release solution. It is typically used before applying other Frekote semi-permanent release agents to optimize performance and extend the durability of the release system.

How is Frekote B-15 applied and cured?

Frekote B-15 is supplied in a non-spray 1 pint can for manual application. After application, it requires a 24-hour cure at room temperature to fully seal the mold surface before additional release coatings are applied.

What are the operating conditions for Frekote B-15?

Frekote B-15 is designed for service temperatures between 20 and 60 °C. It has a flash point of 25 °C and forms a clear coating once cured, supporting mold preparation processes in industrial molding and composites manufacturing environments.
