{"product_id":"silicone-thinner-fluid","title":"Silicone Thinner Fluid","description":"\u003cp\u003eA low viscosity, water clear, non-reactive silicone fluid (100 centistoke) which can be added to either condensation (GI-series) or addition (P-series) cured silicone rubber. The maximum recommended amount that should be added is 15% by weight, based on the weight of the silicone rubber base.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen added to the silicone rubber compounds, SI-Thinner changes the properties of the rubber in the following ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eReduced Viscosity: Silicone rubber mixtures with 15% thinner will show much lower viscosity, enabling the rubber to more easily flow into intricately detailed areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eImproved Air Release: The addition of thinner allows air to escape from the silicone rubber more easily, leading to quicker, more efficient deaeration.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLower Durometer: Thinner acts as a plasticizer when added to silicone rubber, producing a cured product that is softer and more flexible than the original compound.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced Release Properties: Addition of thinner can improve release properties, which allows parts to be more easily removed from the mold.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLower Tear Resistance: Addition of thinner can cause a decrease in tear and tensile strengths while increasing elongation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe decision to incorporate SI-Thinner into a silicone rubber system should be based on careful consideration of these advantages and disadvantages. Customers are encouraged to test various levels of SI-Thinner in their applications, and should use the lowest amount of SI-Thinner that produces the desired effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/silicones-inc.com\/sds\/giseries\/sds_sithinner.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSDS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silicones Inc.","offers":[{"title":"10cps Gallon 8lb","offer_id":48016952656187,"sku":null,"price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50cps Gallon 8lb","offer_id":48016952688955,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100cps Gallon 8lb","offer_id":48016952721723,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500cps Gallon 8lb","offer_id":48016952754491,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000cps Gallon 8lb","offer_id":48016952787259,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/siliconethinnerfluid.png?v=1711002418","url":"https:\/\/maacaffestore.com\/products\/silicone-thinner-fluid","provider":"The Compleat Sculptor, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
