Frequently asked questions about SILISIL RTV MF-Soft 12
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
SILISIL RTV MF-Soft 12 is a two-component (Shore A 12, blue) additive silicone for soft printing pads used in pad printing and related applications. Soft pad printing silicone, Shore A 12, blue — very good ink transfer
At 23 °C, the pot life is approximately 20 minutes and the demolding time approximately 90 minutes. Complete curing is achieved after 24 hours. Lower temperatures extend, higher temperatures shorten these times.
As an addition system, SILISIL RTV MF-Soft 12 is sensitive to crosslinking inhibitors: sulfur, amine, tin, and phosphorus compounds can locally halt vulcanization. Avoid latex gloves, sulfur-containing modeling clays, some adhesive tapes, and PVC plasticizers in the immediate vicinity of the mold. If in doubt, make a small test cast.
SILISIL RTV MF-Soft 12 is mixed in a 1:1 ratio by weight (base to catalyst), with a maximum tolerance of ±5%. Homogenize both components separately before mixing, then thoroughly incorporate them – including the container walls and bottom. Brief vacuum degassing of the mixture is recommended for non-porous molds.
SILISIL RTV MF-Soft 12 achieves a Shore A hardness of 12 (ASTM D 2240), a tensile strength of 8.6 N/mm² (ASTM D 412), an elongation at break of approximately 550% and a tensile strength of 8.6 N/mm (ASTM D 624).
