Honey Wax Mold Release Agent

Honey Wax is a unique, high gloss paste wax for use by composite fabricators as a mould release agent. This wax is composed of pure carnauba wax, supplemented with special binders.

Thanks to the simple application, the wax can be rubbed out effortlessly, saving valuable man-hours. It is an excellent mould release agent providing reproducibility, glossiness, and non-staining, hard releasing film. It is easier to apply than other processed waxes, and the residual film is abrasion-resistant. Honey Wax creates a durable wax surface that remains intact for multiple pulls.

Benefits of Honey Wax mold release agent

• Universally applicable.
• Premium carnauba based paste mould release agent
• Free from silicones and fillers.
• Durable and wear-resistant (lasts longer than processed waxes).
• High temperature resistance.

Instructions for use

To properly process Honey Wax, please follow the instructions below.

1. Clean the mould surface
   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.

2. Apply the wax
   Apply a thin, even film of Honey Wax using circular motions and making sure there is complete uniform coverage. Use the applicator sponge or a clean, dry microfibre cloth.

3. Leave to haze
   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 wax layer
   Buff the surface to a luster using a fresh, clean absorbent cloth or micro fibre cloth as soon as the wax film is totally dry.

5. Apply multiple layers
   Wait approximately 10 to 15 minutes before applying another coat of Honey Wax. Five to seven applications initially will effectively fill the pores and coat the mould surface. The number of coats depends upon the porosity of the mould.

6. Repeat after each release
   Once a part is pulled, apply two more coats of Honey Wax.

7. Maintenance for frequent releases
   For the third part, a single application will suffice. From this point on, multiple pulls can be achieved. 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 for the first 2 moulding cycles. This is not necessary if the mould is seasoned and being reconditioned.
