- Coating Type
- Application
SiliXan M 400 is both UV and thermal curing:
- UV- curing: a mercury lamp with a total irradiation dosage from 2-3 J/cm2
- thermal curing: the system will be cured by IR or heat
The drying speed depends on the coating formulation and the type and content of used photo- or thermoinitiator.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Details
Solubility / thinnability :
SiliXan M 400 is dilutable in polar solvents like alcohols, esters, ether esters or ketones. However, the binder is insoluble in water, xylene, toluene or benzine. The compatibility with other acrylate monomers or oligomers has to be pretested. A list of compatible acrylates is available on request.
Packaging & Availability

- 30L drum
- 200L drum
Storage & Handling
- Storage
The shelf life of the product is 6 months, provided the original container is protected from light and stored tightly closed at +5 to +25°C. Opened containers should be processed shortly. The expiry date of each batch appears on the product label. Storage beyond the indicated period does not necessarily mean that the product is useless. However, in this case a review of the properties for the respective application is essential for reasons of quality assurance.
