Thickening agent THX

Технические характеристики

Chemical thickener for condensation-curing silicone rubbers

This additive is used to thicken or render non-sag those grade of the castable KDSV silicone types. The effect is such that, when – for example – a skin mould is being made, the silicone rubber can be applied even to inclined or vertical surfaces by brush or spatula without flowing off or sagging.
The more additive added to the rubber mass, the thicker the mass becomes. Thus, the whole range of thixotropic states can be attainted, including the fully non-sag state.

Addition of 0.5-1 weight % of Thickening agent THX confers excellent non-sag properties on the catalysed mix, at least for layers of up to 10mm thickness, when applied to vertical surfaces.

Please note: Not suitable for addition-curing silicones.
