Product Description
MAC 797 is a water emulsion of a film forming resin that cures to form a clear, colorless coating with excellent releases and anti stick characteristics. It is intended for use as a release coating for molding rubber compounds including EPDM. NBR. SBR, Polyurethanes and fluro elastomers and fiber/ resin composites, including epoxy. polyester, thermoplastic and thermo set resins and fiberglass laminates.

• Clean, dry, colorless, non-oily coating.
• No transfer.
• Multiple releases per application.
• No interference with post molding operations.
• Will not cause knit lines.
• Good heat resistance and stability.
• Usable up to 290°C.
Application Method
MAC 797 should be applied as received to clean, dry moulds. It can be applied to hot or cold mould, but preheating the mould to at least 100°C will facilitate evaporation of the water. Proper application of release coating will help achieve the maximum number of releases per application.
After cleaning the mould with a suitable solvent or an abrasive cleaner to remove previous release agents or other contamination, a finely atomized, light, even spray should be applied to the mould, and after allowing the water to evaporate, second coat should be applied. The mould should then be heated to 150°C or higher and held for at least five minutes to effect curing of the release film. For touch-up. MAC 797 should be sprayed as a fine mist to the hot mould.
