INHIBITION:
Certain materials will cause inhibition or neutralization of the curing agent. These materials are sulfur and organometallic salt containing compounds such as organic rubbers and condensation cured RTV silicone rubbers. Inhibition may easily be determined by brushing a small quantity of TC-5040 A/B over a localized area of the surfaceto be reproduced. If the TC-5040 A/B is gummy or uncured after the curing time, then you know the mold surface is acting as an inhibitor. Molds made from wood, plaster, metal or plastic should not cause inhibition if they are clean. To insure against possible problems, it is advisable to seal the surface with RF-5215 or other appropriate sealer. Contact BJB’s technical sales for additional information.
