XTEND 19ZAM - Axel - Release Agent - Chemical Mixtures & Blends

Designed for use in Solid Surface molding, open and closed molding non-gel coated applications where the release is applied in the ambient to 120F/50C range and processes occur above ambient temperatures and less than 400°F/204°C with Modar, Polyester, Vinyl Ester DCPD, Epoxy, Natural & Synthetic Rubber, & Rigid Polyurethanes. Excellent for any molding application that does not require a high gloss, Class A type finish.

Application Method

Wet a clean, woven, lint free cloth, such as the Scott Shop Towels On A Roll, Kimberly-Clark WorkHorse rags or WypAll wipes, or a heavy-duty plain white paper towel with release.
Working in small areas, wipe on a smooth light film. Do not over apply. Do not rub or rework.
Allow to dry. Continue application until entire mold is coated.
Apply 3 coats of release allowing approximately 15 minutes between each for drying and curing.

Technical Details & Test Data

Maintenance and Removal: If sticking begins: Wipe the problem area of the mold with XTEND 19ZAM to dissolve and remove residue. Continue molding. If the residue does not dissolve, lightly work over the tool with a Scotchbright pad wet with XTEND 19ZAM, then apply one coat of release.

If build up persists: Wipe off with AXEL’s CX-500 cleaner and a Scotchbright pad. (This cleaner is designed to take off the residual buildup without removing the base coat of release.) Then wipe on 1 to 2 coats of XTEND 19ZAM, waiting 10 minutes between each coat.

In extreme scumming conditions (usually associated with closed molding applications): Strip the tool with CX-525 (a cleaner especially formulated to remove styrene build up), CX-200HS stripper and by buffing the tool. This will remove all scumming, buildup and the release. It will also condition the mold for break-in. Start from step 1 to recondition the mold.

Removal: Use CX-200HS, followed by a water wipe and a good general purpose cleaner, such as AXEL’s CX-500.
