What should I do if AB liquid silicone does not solidify
AB liquid silicone is an additive platinum catalytic silicone material. By mixing and stirring A and B agents in a 1:1 ratio, the silicone quickly enters a cross-linked state and slowly solidifies until it solidifies. The curing conditions for AB liquid silicone gel are usually room temperature or rapid curing with heating. Many people who operate AB liquid silicone may not cure, or the surface may stick to their hands after curing, or it may not cure for a long time. This is most likely due to the phenomenon of silicone being "poisoned". Shenzhen Xinjia Silicone will analyze for everyone, what should be done if AB liquid silicone does not solidify.
Firstly, ensure that the silicone ratio of the two components is standardized to avoid significant errors that may cause non curing.
Secondly, during the operation of silicone, avoid the presence of secondhand smoke from cigarettes in the operating environment, as well as direct contact between smoking hands and silicone. And it is necessary to avoid the presence of organic compounds such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, as well as ionic compounds containing alkynes, polyethylene compounds, or elements such as Pb, As, Hg, Sn in the environment. AB liquid silica gel can easily inhibit the curing reaction of silica gel when exposed to a certain amount of these compounds, leading to incomplete curing of silica gel.
Thirdly, during the operation of silicone gel, avoid direct contact with UV resin, polyurethane, photosensitive resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated resin, organotin catalyzed silicone gel, oil sludge, etc. If the process requires it, please contact the Xinjia silicone specialist for technical support. Usually, it is necessary to apply a release agent on the surface of materials such as those mentioned above, which provides a layer of isolation effect. This not only facilitates demolding but also reduces the risk of silicone "poisoning".
Fourthly, the curing conditions for silicone have not been met, which are temperature and time. For detailed information, please consult the liaison specialist at Xinjia.
Fifth, avoid storing silicone gel for too long. It is recommended to use it unopened within 6 months, and after opening and sealing it, use it up within 2 months.
