MICROSET 101 THIXOTROPIC REPLICATING COMPOUNDS
Microset 101 Thixotropic Replicating Compound
Microset 101 Thixotropic Overview
The Microset 101 Thixotropic is a high-resolution, two-part silicone polymer designed for precise replication of metal surfaces. Its thixotropic nature allows application on vertical and overhead surfaces without dripping or flowing away from the area of interest. This compound is ideal for capturing intricate details on rough surfaces, cavities, tubes, and threaded holes. It is compatible with advanced inspection techniques, including optical and electronic microscopy, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Microset 101 Thixotropic Key Features
- High resolution: Achieves precision up to 0.1 μm.
- Thixotropic consistency: Enables application on vertical and overhead surfaces without dripping or flowing away from the defined area.
- Fast curing: Offers working life options ranging from 30 seconds to 15 minutes at 25°C, with corresponding cure times from 5 to 60 minutes, accommodating different application needs.
- Low shrinkage: Less than 0.1%.
