Poolkemie SILIMOLD ADT 40

Poolkemie SILIMOLD ADT 40 is a two component room temperature vulcanising pourable fluid silicon which cures on the addition of the appropriate CATALYST AD, according to the polyaddition process. SILIMOLD AD T-40 silicon rubber is characterized by its medium high hardness and a high tearing resistance. Thanks to these properties, it may also be utilized in the manufacture of molds with many undercuts.

Safety & Health

Deareation and Precaution

Any air trapped during the mixing cycle should be removed in order to avoid bubbling in the silicone rubber mold. This involves placing the container in a suitable vacuum chamber and apply a vaccum, which causes the mixture to froth to around four times its original volume. With a 20 mm. vacuum, deareation is completed approximately 2 minutes after the frothing ceases.

Curing may be inhibited if substrate contains water, sulfur, nitrogen compounds, organometallic salts, phosphorous compounds, etc. – a preliminary test is therefore recommended.
