Natron Silicone Thinners
Silicone Thinner are silicone fluids use to lower viscosity of mixed platinum based silicone rubber products. Printwiki defines thinner as A solvent, diluent, oil, or other substance added to a printing ink to reduce its tack, body, and viscosity.
Silicone thinner Advantages:
-
Lower viscosity makes it easy for air bubbles to escape. It is easy to de-gas mixtures. Less bubbles means easy printing or mold making.
-
Mixed silicone ink or casting silicone will flow better.
-
We have several thinners for different functions. We have silicone oil which is a non-reactive thinner for lowering the hardness of cured silicone. We also have reactive solvents which do not affect the durometer f the cured silicone rubber.
-
Lastly, thinners increase the pot-life. The more the solvent the longer the work time with the mixed silicone substrate.
Non-reactive thinners affect the tear and tensile strength in proportion to the amount of silicone thinner added to some silicone rubber products.
