Description 

The silicone Condensation DC 3481 with the catalyst 3081 F is a professional 2-component (poly-condensation curing) castable molding silicone which cures at room temperature. The silicone has a good fluidity and gives great detail while still remaining strong. Silicone DC 3481 F is excellently suited for making quick moulds for the casting of eg cement, plaster, wax, soap, and many other casting materials.

Technical data

Note: Pot life and de-mould time are highly dependent on the mixing ratio and Humidity! By adding more than 5% silicone B (hardener) or at high humidity, the pot life and de-mould time are shorter.

Processing 

The silicone DC 3481 with catalyst 3081 F can easily be mixed by hand or by machine. Mix the A and B component carefully and in the indicated ratio (preferably 5%, you can add between 4 and 6% B comp)

Example: To 1 kg of A-Comp add preferably 50 grams of B-component. You can vary between 40 grams (4%) up to 60 grams (6%). Less or more will inhibit cure or alter the final properties of the rubber.

At 4%, the silicone will take longer to harden giving air bubbles more time to escape. With 6% B component the silicone will cure considerably faster. Process the mixture in the pot life and never take more than you can handle within pot-life.

Only de-mould after a complete cure. If you wish to make a mold by using a brush or spatula you need to add a 3rd component (0.6% -2% Thixo C). Typically 1% will do the trick. Thixo C thickens the mixture and makes it possible to set up the silicone agains vertical surfaces. Please be aware that the mold in this case must be provided with a support cap. This support cap may consist of gypsum bandages or epoxy support cover or acrylic resin with glass fibre fabric.

Packing 
The products are packaged in packs of 1, 5, 25 or 200 Kg of A-component and 50, 250 grams or 1.25 Kg or 10 Kg of B-component. All components can also be ordered separately. For larger packages we ask you to contact us through the site.

Durability 
Provided that the silicone is kept in a sealed package and stored cool and frost-free, the shelf life is at least 1 year.

Safety 
If you frequently work with the silicone is recommended to wear during processing gloves and properly ventilate the area. For safety instructions, see always the safety data sheet.
