Description
FORMULA FIVE® Matte Top Coat aids in the release of both gelcoated and non-gelcoated fiberglass (FRP/GRP), phenolic, epoxy, polyester and vinylester, rubber and many PU (polyurethane) foams and elastomer parts from most substrates, including aluminum, steel, or gelcoated mold and plug surfaces. Also extends life of silicone rubber molds. A high slip mold release that produces minimal build up and yields multiple releases per application. Ideally suited for applications where transfer of release agent to finished part must be avoided. This product will maintain a matte finish on parts made from matte finish molds. A very robust and chemically resistant semi-permanent that can be used in non-gelcoated applications, with primer gelcoats, and with heavily filled matrices such as cast polymer and polymer concrete, aggressive resin systems such as DCPD, and in many non-cosmetic applications such as roto-casting, male molds and “B” sides of closed molding operations. Ideal for challenging mold surfaces such as “non-skid” and can replace flange, edge or hat wax with the advantage of eliminating risk of contaminating cosmetic mold surfaces; no sealer or polishing required. Suitable for use with process temperatures up to 400 ºF (204 ºC), best when applied to molds that are at a temperature of or post-cured at 100 ºF (38 ºC) – 150 ºF (66 ºC).
