Silicone Additive Thixotropoic Agent For Condensation Cure And
Addition Cure Silicone Rubber For Making Brush-On Molds
Product Description
MC Silicone TA01 Thixotropic agent is used to thicken the viscosity
for two part liquid silicone. It can be used with condensation and
addition cure silicones. First at all add the catalyst to the base,
then add 0.5-2 % of TA01 on the weight of the silicone rubber. Mix
for 3-5 minutes, you get a very viscous mass, which can be applied
in vertical piece. This additive will not change the cured
properties of the silicone material. The cured rubber has
outstanding mechanical properties and good shelf-life stability.

Processing and Instructions
Mixing
We recommends that the catalyzed material be tested on a small area
of the mold prior to use. Thixotropic Agent TA01 should be added at
0.5-2% by weight to the material to be modified. Material should be
mixed in a clean, compatible metal or plastic container. The volume
of the container should be 3-4 times the volume of the material to
be mixed. This allows for expansion of the siloxane material as it
de-aeration.
Mix thoroughly by hand or with mixing equipment while minimizing
air entrapment until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. This will
occur when the material takes on a uniform color with no visible
striations. The material should stand for 2 – 3 minutes for the
effect of the thixotropic agent to be realized.
Storage and shelf life
This product is best when used within 24 months from date of
manufacture.
Product should be stored in its original, unopened container in an
environment that does not exceed 30 °C (86 °F).
Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily
mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case, the
properties required for the intended use should be checked for
quality assurance reasons.
