- Instructions for Use
Mixing
Thoroughly stir material to ensure homogeneity. Exercise care to prevent solvent loss during deairing. Accomplish additional dilution for thin film applications by adding appropriate solvent. Mixer design/size/type, blade/propeller type, shear/RPM levels, and heat generated during mixing, are important parameters and should be addressed in order to have an adequately mixed dispersion. Warning: Consult the MSDS for MED10-4161 prior to use, as its solvent carrier is hazardous.
Coating and Use
Dispersions are more commonly used in dipping processes, but can also be sprayed. Make sure to apply under a fume hood or in a well ventilated environment. Care should be taken before placing coated parts in oven due to the presence of solvent.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Most dispersions are stored prior to application. It is important to note that NuSil recommends keeping the dispersion in its original container when possible, tightly sealed and stored below 40º C. Care should be taken to prevent solvent evaporation and contamination during long or short term storage.
