  • Composite Tooling
  • Support Shells for Silicone Glove Molds

It features the ability to cure at room temperature for applications that do not require a working service temperature above 224°F (107C). TC-1604 can also be used as an adhesive for bonding wood, composites, and other materials. Adding fillers like fumed silica, micro-spheres, and short-strand fibers can create pastes for filets, fairings, and bonding applications.
