Silicone Addition Thixo A is a thickening agent for all addition-cure silicones. Thixo makes it possible not only to pour the silicone, but also to apply it with a spatula or brush.
Silicone Thixo A(ddition) is a thick liquid component that you can add to pourable addition-cure silicone so that it becomes spreadable/brushable. This allows you to coat vertical and sloping surfaces as well, without the silicone running off.
Processing
First mix Part A and Part B of the silicone. Once this has been done to your satisfaction, you can add the Thixo A. Do this in steps of 0.5% and stir well each time to see whether the silicone has reached the desired thickness / stiffness. Give each step a little time. Usually 1% is used.
Example: for 1 kg of silicone, 10 grams of Thixo A is usually used.
Special instructions
Thixo A is not food-safe. If you want to make food-safe moulds using a thickener, we recommend fumed silica.
Thixo becomes more fluid as it gets warmer. In winter it may therefore be necessary to place it near the heating for a while.
Do not use more than 4% Thixo, as this may adversely affect the silicone.
Please note: this product is not the catalyst (curing agent) of the silicone. You really must combine Part A and Part B of the silicone first before adding the Thixo.
Thixo increases the hardness of the silicone by approximately 1 Shore point and slightly shortens the pot life and demoulding time.
This Thixo only works with addition-cure silicones and therefore NOT with condensation-cure silicones such as Silicone Condensation 20, etc.
Shelf life
Provided the components are stored in closed packaging, in a cool, frost-free place away from direct sunlight, the shelf life is at least 1 year.
Safety requirements
Use liquid-tight gloves when working with this product.
