Finding better, more costeffective ways has always been the Henkel Technologies mission. With the addition of Frekote to its product family, Henkel Technologies has become a leading supplier of speciality chemicals.
World Standard Products for Release Application Henkel Technologies has found partnering with customers is a highly effective way of finding solutions to tough moulding and application problems. Customers around the globe turn to Loctite Frekote not just for our unique mould release products, but also for our expertise in developing customised solutions. We take pride in our knowledge, experience, and responsiveness in providing the best technical service to our customers around the globe. The Loctite Frekote Range is the Broadest Mould Release Line Frekote mould release agents, backed by over 40 years of research and development, are the global industry standard for performance, quality and value. By pioneering release solutions for many of the worlds largest manufacturing organisations, Henkel Technologies understands what it takes to release the most complex materials in the most demanding applications. Henkel Technologies has designed mould release agents for virtually all composite and rubber moulding operations. The Loctite Frekote line offers the broadest product range in the industry. From jumbo jets to tennis rackets, truck tyres to O-rings, bathtubs to custom yachts, we have the release agent you need for most composite and rubber materials. Lowest Cost per Release Loctite Frekote semi-permanent release agents minimise fouling and ensure the highest number of releases possible per application. Our customers realise higher productivity and profitability through reduced downtime; lower reject rates, and higher quality products. Frekote products are the industry standard replacement for sacrificial release agents. Unlike sacrificial waxes or silicones, Loctite Frekote semi-permanent mould release agents do not transfer to your parts; instead they chemically bond with the mould surface. The parts release cleanly, and will not stick to low surface energy films. Loctite Frekote products are designed to save your money.

Loctite Frekote Dispensing Applicators

Loctite Frekote Applicators are state-of-the-art dispensing units designed for the application of mould release agents. These units combine ergonomics, user-friendly design, and reliability.
The equipment includes spray guns, pressure control units and material feed systems. The supply of fluid is achieved via pressure tanks. Mechanical valves control the individual impulses of fluid emission. The efficient valves and tank reservoirs have a very solid construction suited to industrial applications. The sprayguns are suited to intermittent application jobs. The different extensions of the valves allow installation into machines with limited inner space or in narrow recessed areas. High grade materials allow application with spray materials of difficult nature. The spray valves are provided with two connections to allow separate supply of release agent and atomising air. Atomising air and release agent can be adjusted individually to produce the required spray profile. Supply hoses for air and fluid must always be installed with sufficient size of diameter. When a number of valves are grouped together the hose lengths should be consistent for all valves to provide equal flow. Item 97725
Features 0.3; 0.5; 0.8 mm nozzles and needles made from stainless steel. Different nozzle extensions available. Aircaps for different spray angles available. Duo-feed hose, 3 m.

HVLP Fine Spray Gun The Loctite Frekote Fine Spray Gun is specially designed to handle sprayable fluids of very low viscosities. Fine co-ordination of precision made nozzle, needle and aircap produce an atomising result which gives an extremely smooth "lay" on moulds and dies particularly when applying release agents. The High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) spraying is more eficient,cost effective and produces the same fine finish at the same speed as conventional compressed air spray guns, without all the over spray, bounce back and air pollution. In accordance with latest regulations, release agents free of CFC are recommended for use with these guns. These agents provide a smooth finish of fine droplets to the surface, when applied with this gun. Worldwide, this very handy gun is most popular within the field of thermoplastic industries and the foundry industries. The short, lightweight gun body and the Duo-feed hose, which passes fluid as well as atomising air through the grip, allows comfortable handling. Technical Specification Weight: 245 g

The Loctite Frekote equipment range includes pressure tanks for all sorts of applications. The safety of each individual tank is based on tests in keeping with the strict rules of the German Pressure Tank Ordinance before they are cleared for the markets at home and abroad. Tanks are designed and produced according to virtually all applicable European standard specifications. The Loctite Frekote tanks are made of stainless steel in order to guarantee robustness and compatibility with a wide range of chemical agents. Other pressure pots are usually galvanised or cast iron or aluminium. These materials WILL REACT with release agents causing corrosion and contamination. Pressure Pots 10 litre w/o Pneumatics 97712 and 30 litre w/o Pneumatics 97713 are designed for Spray Cart 97701. In connection with Pneumatics 97708 they can also be use as stand-alone Units.
