FREKOTE FMS

Main features

  • Composite-Mold Microporosity Sealing
  • High-Gloss Prepared Mold Surface
  • 20-Minute Final-Coat Cure at 20 deg C

Product Description

LOCTITE® FREKOTE® FMS is a clear, colorless, solvent-based polymeric mold sealer formulated for fiberglass-reinforced polyester, epoxy, and other composite molds. Applied by wiping during mold preparation, it seals microporosity and slight surface imperfections to create a uniform base for subsequent mold release-agent application. The room-temperature-curing sealer is particularly relevant for new or “green” molds and repaired areas, providing a high-gloss surface with straightforward application and a 20-minute final-coat cure at 20°C.

Key features

  • Composite mold sealing: Formulated for fiberglass-reinforced polyester, epoxy, and other composite molds.
  • Microporosity control: Seals microporosity and slight surface imperfections in new, green, or repaired molds.
  • High-gloss preparation: Produces a high-gloss mold surface and supports uniform release-agent application.
  • Wipe-on application: Applied using a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
  • Fast room-temperature cure: Final coat cures in 20 minutes at 20°C.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Fiberglass-reinforced polyester molds
  • Epoxy and other composite molds
  • New or green molds with microporosity
  • Repaired mold surfaces and areas with slight imperfections
  • Mold preparation before applying a compatible release agent

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
