Silicone AFM / Hardener AFM

The substrate must be clean, dust-free and dry.

Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +5 °C to max. +30 °C

Pour or apply by brush

Reaction time approx. 20 hours

The addition of up to 1% by mass of Thickening Additive AFM (0738) can increase the viscosity until stability is reached.

To ensure that the vulcanised material is completely free of bubbles, degas the silicone/hardener mixture in a vacuum prior to use (max. 5 minutes at 10-20 mbar).

Pourable resins, such as polyesters and polyurethanes, limit the ability to take a large number of impressions due to their aggressive nature.

When making impression of critical substrates, e.g. materials that are porous, silicate-based or moisture-absorbing, use a silicone-free releasing agent (e.g. wallpaper paste).

When creating supporting moulds, a suitable release agent must be applied to the outer skin of the silicone mould, e.g. Framework Paste (1121).

Paintbrush, spatula, stirrer

Clean tools immediately after use with thinner and brush cleaner.

Pull off any cured residue.

If stored unopened in its original container in a cool, dry place and protected against frost, the product will keep for at least 12 months.

Approx. 1.2 kg/m²/mm layer thickness
