NEO-MOLD™

Fast Set High Strength Castings
 

DESCRIPTION
NEO-MOLD is a single component casting material that sets up in approximately 15 minutes and is ready to demold in 3 hours or less. It can be used equally well indoors or outdoors in a variety of architectural and artistic applications.

RECOMMENDED USES

	Architectural moldings
	Statuary
	Decorating accessories
	Composite marble and granite pieces

BENEFITS and FEATURES

	Fast setting
	No off-gassing of harmful fumes
	No special curing needed
	Interior or exterior use
	Rapid strength gain
	Zero shrinkage
	One component, just add water
	Inorganic and totally fireproof

MOLD PREPARATION
Thoroughly clean the mold and dampen all surfaces with water prior to pouring the casting.
 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Mix NEO-MOLD with water equal to 15% by weight thoroughly for 3 minutes. The material will appear dry at first but will "wet out" as it is further mixed and will be the consistency of heavy cream. Only mix enough material to be used within 15 minutes (working time will decrease at higher temperatures).
 

APPLICATION
Immediately after mixing, pour the NEO-MOLD slurry into the dampened mold. Vibrate the mold or tap lightly to bring any trapped air bubbles to the
surface. NEO-MOLD will start to warm up due to an exothermic chemical reaction that is part of the setting process. Demolding can be initiated once the casting has returned to room temperature. Moldings with fine details should be cured for a longer period of time.
 

YIELD
NEO-MOLD is packaged in 50 LB. (22.7 Kg) polyethylene lined bags yielding approximately 0.55 ft3 (15.6 Liters) after mixing with water. NEO-MOLD can be customized by adding up to 60% by weight of such fillers as marble chips, granite chips, granite sand or quartz chips. With the addition of fillers yield is approximately 0.83 ft3 (23.4 Liters). Setting times will increase with the addition of fillers.
 

COLOR
Any oxide pigments or universal colorants may be used at about 1-2% by weight.
 

CLEAN UP
Clean all tools and equipment with soap and water
immediately after use.
 

SHELF LIFE
One year from date of manufacture in the original unopened container. Unused material should be kept in a closed container and protected from moisture and other contaminants.
