Application instructions
-
The addition of up to 1% by mass of Thickening Additive AFM (0738) can increase the viscosity until stability is reached.
To ensure that the vulcanised material is completely free of bubbles, degas the silicone/hardener mixture in a vacuum prior to use (max. 5 minutes at 10-20 mbar).
Pourable resins, such as polyesters and polyurethanes, limit the ability to take a large number of impressions due to their aggressive nature.
When making impression of critical substrates, e.g. materials that are porous, silicate-based or moisture-absorbing, use a silicone-free releasing agent (e.g. wallpaper paste).
When creating supporting moulds, a suitable release agent must be applied to the outer skin of the silicone mould, e.g. Framework Paste (1121).
