| SILICONE FLUIDS DF55 - 12,500 |
 |
The DF55 series of silicone fluids are 100% crystal clear dimethylpolysiloxane polymers with a viscosity range of 50 - 60,000 centistokes.
Their outstanding characteristics are that of inertness, heat stability, oxidation stability, good electrical properties, low pour point and nontoxicity.
Some of the general applications are as release and slip agents, additives in rubber and plastics for special surface properties and water repellent treatments.
Silicone Fluids are preferred over silicone emulsions where mold build up can not be tolerated.
Silicone Fluids are normally cut for spray applications with non-polar solvents.
The advantages of this are: less mold build up from emulsifiers used in silicone emulsions, provides rapid flash off on hot surfaces and the silicone can be used on molds where the flash temperature of water is higher than that of the mold surface.
Silicone Fluids are suggested as good general purpose release agents for most tire and mechanical goods operations such as: tire molds and curing bags, shock mounts, fan belts, "O" rings, floor mats, hose, toys, shoe heels and soles, floor tile, rubber runners, bath mats, etc.
Some wire and cable applications, include easy stripping of insulation from wire, braiding of silver-plated or tin-coated wire and lead sheath removal. |
