Honey Wax 250 is a unique, high gloss paste wax for use by composite fabricators as a mould release agent. It is compounded with the purest grade carnauba wax, plus special binders and spreading agents. Honey Wax 250 reduces cycle times due to its exceptional ease of application and buffing. It is an excellent mould release agent providing reproducibility, high gloss, and a non-staining, hard releasing film which are important to the fabricator. Honey Wax 250 is our easiest to apply and remove paste wax. These are supplied in 312gm tins.
Uses:
For New Or Reconditioned Tooling Surfaces.
Direction for Use:
Recommended Procedure
1. The mould surface should be thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants such as oils, grease, wax, dirt, or previous release agents. The cleaned surface should be completely dry. Then apply the recommended number of coats of your chosen sealer to seal surface porosity.
2. Apply a thin, even film of Honey Wax 250 using circular motions and making sure there is complete uniform coverage. Use the applicator sponge or a clean, dry rag.
3. The coating should be left to haze completely. This process should take approximately 2-15 minutes depending upon ambient temperatures and humidity. Hazing is an important step, as all the solvents should evaporate completely before buffing. The wax film should be totally dry.
4. Buff the surface to a luster using a fresh, clean absorbent cloth or microfiber towel as soon as the wax film is totally dry.
5. Wait approximately 10 to 15 minutes before applying before applying another coat of Honey Wax 250. Five to seven applications initially will effectively fill the pores and coat themould surface (The number of coats depends upon the porosity of the mould).
6. Once a part is pulled, apply two more coats of Honey Wax 250.
7. For the third part, a single application will suffice. From this point on, multiple pulls can be achieved.
8. If a new mould is being put into service and moulding is done with a polyester resin, it is recommended that PVA be used over the 5-7 coats of Honey Wax® 250 for the first 2 moulding cycles. This is not necessary if the mould is seasoned and being reconditioned.
