Processing
- ELASTOSIL® A07 TRANSLUCENT is a free flowable, solvent-based RTV-1 silicone dispersion. It cures at room temperature reaction with air humidity to a flexible silicone coating. During cure it splits off an organic amine. It can be applied by dipping, spraying, brushing or coating.
- Thinner coatings can be obtained by addition of solvents (e.g. toluene, white spirit), thicker coatings can be realized by multiple step coating. The product contains about 25% of solvent (b.w.) therefore suitable equipment has to be used and precaution measures due to the solvent vapors have to be taken.
- ELASTOSIL® A07 TRANSLUCENT is a one-part room temperature curing coating therefore the curing rate depend atmospheric humidity.
- The curing rate can be accelerate on exposure to carbon dioxide concentration above 1% p.b.v. Uncured or partially cured silicone can be removed by help of organic solvents such as alipatic or aromatic hydrocarboncleaning should take place before the rubber is fully cured.
- Once completely cured, only mechanical removal supported by prior solvent swell is possible. In thin films, Wacker Silicone Remover S8 is suited as well.
