Chem-Set Mold Life Extender Part B, 5 Gallon

Description

Chem-Set Mold Life Extender Part B, 5 Gallon is the curative side of a two-component mold life extender coating that renews the working face of production silicone molds. Mixed with Part A at 50/50 by volume and applied to a cleaned, cured mold, it bonds permanently to the silicone and restores a smooth casting surface, which delays the point where a worn mold has to be rebuilt. The 5 gallon size suits high volume shops treating full mold sets.

Where Mold Life Extender Is Used

Cast stone, architectural concrete, and GFRC producers run silicone molds through repeated pulls, alkaline exposure, and surface pickup. As the mold face degrades, defects start to carry into the castings. This coating rebuilds the face so the mold returns to clean production. Common uses include:

• Renewing worn production molds in cast stone and concrete casting.
• Extending service across high volume architectural and GFRC mold sets.
• Recovering detail on molds that have started to roughen or lose surface.

How to Mix and Apply Mold Life Extender

Blend Part B with Part A at a 50/50 ratio by volume and mix until uniform. Apply by spray or brush to a clean, dry mold. Spraying produces a more even film than brushing and gives the best working surface. The coating bonds to the silicone and cannot be removed, so treat the first application as permanent and prove it on a sample mold before committing a full production run.
