2% Silicone Additives Thixotropoic Agent For Brushing Silicone Mold Making Material

Silicone Additive Thixotropoic Agent For Addition Curing Silicone Rubber For Making Molds By Brushing Way

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Thixotropic Agent is an additive for addition cure silicone elastomers that are silica filled. When used at 0.5-2% level this additive creates excellent thixotropic properties. Thixo Agent AC when used with silica filled platinum cured silicone elastomers will cause the material to exhibit non-slump behavior at a thickness of ~ 0.5” with fast cure and without changing the cured properties of the addition cure material. The cured rubber has outstanding mechanical properties and good shelf-life stability.

KEY FEATURES
Non-slump to ~ 0.5”
Does not affect cure times
Can vary thixotrophy as needed

MAIN APPLICATIONS
Spray applications
Glob-top
Glove molding
Lay-up molding

Typical Properties

Processing and Instructions

MIXING

We recommends that the catalyzed material be tested on a small area of the mold prior to use. Thixotropic Agent TA01 should be added at 0.5-2% by weight to the material to be modified. Material should be mixed in a clean, compatible metal or plastic container. The volume of the container should be 3-4 times the volume of the material to be mixed. This allows for expansion of the siloxane material as it de-aeration.

Mix thoroughly by hand or with mixing equipment while minimizing air entrapment until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. This will occur when the material takes on a uniform color with no visible striations. The material should stand for 2 – 3 minutes for the effect of the thixotropic agent to be realized.

STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
