Loctite FREKOTE-700NC (1-USgl)

LOCTITE® FREKOTE 700-NC™

Overview

LOCTITE® FREKOTE 700-NC™ is a solvent-based polymer mold release coating designed for high-performance composite and polymer molding applications. It provides a durable, non-contaminating release film that improves part release efficiency while maintaining surface quality and gloss. The system is engineered for demanding aerospace and industrial molding environments where clean release and minimal transfer are critical.

Approvals & Specifications

• Henkel LOCTITE Material Specification (LMS) controlled product
• Manufactured under controlled batch quality systems
• Complies with internal Henkel QC and aerospace industrial standards

Typical Applications

• Composite mould release (epoxy, polyester, thermoplastics)
• Rubber and elastomer moulding processes
• High-gloss surface moulding applications
• General-purpose industrial mould release systems
• Aerospace composite manufacturing tooling

Compatibility & Safety Notes

• Not suitable for oxygen-rich or strong oxidizing environments
• Must be used in well-ventilated areas due to solvent content
• Moisture-sensitive product�container must remain tightly closed
• Surfaces must be fully cleaned prior to application
• Fresh or repaired moulds require full cure before coating
• Do not return contaminated material to original container

Application Guidance

• Apply by spray, brush, or lint-free cloth
• Apply thin, even wet film without overworking surface
• Allow 5�10 minutes between base coats for solvent evaporation
• Apply 2�3 initial coats for conditioning
• Final coat requires ~15�20 minutes cure at ~22°C
• Touch-up only localized areas where release performance declines

Packaging & Procurement

• Supplied in sealed industrial containers
• Typical industrial packaging formats vary by region
• Store in original unopened containers under controlled conditions

Storage Conditions

• Optimal storage temperature: 8°C to 21°C
• Do not store below 8°C or above 28°C
• Keep away from oxidizing agents and ignition sources
• Store in dry, ventilated conditions

Why This Product is Chosen for AOG / MRO

• High-performance release reduces mould sticking and production delays
• Excellent thermal stability supports high-temperature composite curing
• Non-transfer characteristics protect surface finish quality
• Supports consistent release performance over multiple cycles
• Reduces mould build-up and maintenance downtime

Practical Suggestions for Your Team (AOG Mindset)

• Ensure complete removal of previous release agents before application
• Use dry air or airless systems to avoid contamination
• Apply in small sections to maintain uniform solvent evaporation
• Condition mould with multiple base coats before production use
• Reapply only where release performance drops to avoid build-up
• Verify ventilation before mould closure in closed systems
