- Uses / Mold Preparation
Especially for applications requiring high slip. Ideal for mold flanges, mold gates and as a replacement for edge wax. Will not yield a semi-cosmetic finish. If XTEND W-HS is used for New or Green Molds: Apply 2-3 coats of XTEND XTR mold sealer prior to application of XTEND W-HS.
Mold Preparation New & Green FRP Molds: Read AXEL publication FocusOn New & Green Molds. Conditioned & Metal Molds: Mold surfaces should be clean and free of previously used mold releases and other surface contaminants.
- Application Instructions
Application Instructions: 1)Apply with a clean, paper towel, such as the Scott Shop Towels On A Roll®, or a heavy-duty plain white paper towel, or clean, 100% cotton cloth. 2)Saturate the towel with release until it is wet but not dripping. Wipe onto mold surface using smooth even strokes. Apply a thin, uniform coating and allow the release to evaporate. Do not overwork the area or continue to wipe. Simply wipe on, and allow to dry. For most processes, use 2 coats of W-HS for initial mold preparation and re-apply 1-2 coats as required. In highly shear or abrasive processes like winding or pressing, more frequent application may be required. When Used for Mold Flanges & Edges and Gates: 1)Prepare the entire mold including the flange area with the chosen mold sealer and release system, then apply 1- 2 coats of W-HS to the mold flange. 2) Re-apply 1 coat of W-HS to the flange, gate or edge areas before molding each part. 3) Be careful not to drip W-HS into the interior of the mold. If this happens, immediately wipe out with a dry cloth and then use a cloth that is dampened with acetone to wipe the spill or drip area, and then dry with a clean cloth or towel. NOTE: When used on flanges and edges W-HS does not need to be completely dry before molding. Removal: Use WCX or CX-200HS mold stripper, followed by a water wash and a good general purpose cleaner, such as AXEL’s CX-500.
