Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Recommended Uses
Designed for use in Solid Surface molding, open and closed molding and non-cosmetic gel coated applications or non-gel coated applications. 400°F/204°C with Modar®, Polyester, Vinyl Ester DCPD, Epoxy, Natural & Synthetic Rubber, & Polyurethanes. Excellent for most thermoset applications that do not require a high gloss, Class “A” type finish.
- Application Method
May be applied by wiping or spraying.
WIPE-ON
Wet a clean, woven, lint free 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 with release. Working in small areas, wipe on a smooth light film. Do not over apply. Do not rub or rework. Allow to dry. Continue application until entire mold is coated. Apply 3 coats of release allowing approximately 15 minutes between each for drying and curing.
SPRAY APPLICATION
Use an HVLP or similar spray gun suitable for spraying low viscosity solvents. Air lines must be moisture and contaminant free (use an air/water filter separator). Please consult AXEL if you are not familiar with applying semi-permanents by spray before attempting. Adjust spray equipment to deliver a light spray mist. Whenever possible, spray at 9-15” from the mold surface. The spray pattern should be setup and adjusted using cardboard or craft paper to determine a completely atomized spray with as little over-spray as possible, Apply 2-3 light to moderate coats depending on process and resin. Do not apply heavy coats. Allow each coat to dry and cure before applying the next coat – this time will vary depending on the mold temperature.
Cure
XTEND 19RSS should be cured for 30-60 minutes at ambient after all initial coats have been applied.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Maintenance and Removal
Minor buildup can sometimes be removed by using XTEND 19RSS to dissolve and remove residue.
If the residue does not dissolve, lightly work over the tool with a Scotchbright pad wet with XTEND 19RSS, then apply one coat of release.
If build up persists: Wipe off with AXEL’s CX-500 cleaner and a Scotchbright pad. (This cleaner is designed to take off the residual buildup without removing the base coat of release.) Then wipe on 1 to 2 coats of XTEND 19RSS, waiting 10 minutes between each coat.
In extreme scumming conditions, or for warm molds (usually associated with closed molding applications): Strip the tool with CX-525 (a cleaner especially formulated to remove resin and release build up). Reapply mold release after use.
Removal: Use CX-200HS, followed by a water wipe and a good general purpose cleaner, such as AXEL’s CX-500.
