| Features |
| A wipe-on/wipe-off mold sealer that offers extra mold protection and enhances mold release performance. |
| |
Especially for new, green, or recently compounded FRP molds.
Recommended for treating mold repair areas |
| |
| |
| Uses |
| Mold sealer for FRP and metal tooling. |
| |
| Mold Preparation |
Mold surfaces should be clean and free of previously used mold releases and other surface contaminants. |
| |
| |
| Application |
Apply 2 coats of XTR allowing approximately 15-20 minutes between each coat. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes before applying mold release.
Longer cure times between each coat and after the last coat is desirable.
New Molds may require additional coats of mold sealer. |

| Application Method |
1) Apply to ambient temperature molds by wiping with a clean, woven, paper cloth such as the Scott Shop Towels On A Roll®, Kimberly-Clark WorkHorse® rags or WypAll® wipes, or a heavy-duty plain white paper towel.
2) Work in patches, applying a smooth, continuous light film over an area approximately 4’-6’ (1.5 – 3 m) square, or a size that you can conveniently wipe before it dries. DO NOT OVER APPLY.
3) As the sealer starts to flash off (on average 30 seconds to 1 minute), use a clean, dry paper cloth and wipe across the area lightly, using a circular motion. The goal is to simply even out the surface, not to dry, or polish it.
Wait until the remaining sealer is completely dry, approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and then polish the area with a soft cotton cloth.
NOTE: The optimum time to polish will be affected by temperature and humidity. Streaks should polish out easily. If your polishing creates more streaks and smudges, you have probably begun to polish too soon- simply wait a bit longer and dry polish again.
4) If any streaks remain after the dry polishing the entire surface, simply use a paper cloth that is barely wet and wipe that area vigorously and then immediately wipe with the dry cloth and follow with dry polishing. |

| Cure |
| Allow the coated mold to cure for 30 minutes minimum ambient temperature before applying release. |
| |
| Removal |
| Use CX-200HS. |

* Due to the unique properties of this material, we require a clean closed application container. The container we find best suited, is a HDPE bottle with a shampoo squeeze style cap, where only a small amount of air is transferred. Gallons should be transferred into the type of container described above. At your request we can supply a sample and source. Drum quantity customers are required to use a desiccant drier attachment to assure proper release performance.
