Safety & Health

Safety Notes

Platinum catalysts react vigorously with proton donors. Undiluted catalysts should therefore not come into direct contact with siloxane crosslinkers, since this may cause a spontaneous, uncontrolled liberation of hydrogen. Especially in the presence of reactive organic solvents (e.g. esters and ketones) and flammable materials with a large surface area (e.g. paper), spontaneous ignition may then occur.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

Prolonged exposure to air and light, especially UV light, may result in an increased brown discoloration, or development of turbidity. Since the colloidal platinum formed is also catalytically active, it is safe to assume that a brown discoloration and slight turbidity will not have a detrimental effect on the performance of the product.
