Examples of practical methods for increasing the flowability of liquid silicone

In practical use, if the liquid silicone exceeds its shelf life, its fluidity will deteriorate and even completely solidify into a lump. This will bring great difficulties to our work, such as difficulty in mixing AB glue evenly and uneven flow during glue filling. However, if we add a large amount of silicone oil to increase the flowability of liquid silicone, the tear resistance and toughness of silicone cured will decrease. So, is there a way to increase the flowability of silicone without affecting its performance?

There is a product on the market called expansion bolts, and we can purchase expansion bolts of appropriate length based on the amount of liquid silicone. After purchasing, we can use pliers to break the front end of the expansion bolt jacket into a cross shape, and then tighten the nut to make a simple mixing head. Next, install the stirring head on the electric drill and start stirring. After stirring, the silica gel will restore its original fluidity. It is worth noting that the liquid silicone that has just been stirred can generate some heat and bubbles due to friction and molecular motion, so it should not be used immediately to avoid causing bubbles or accelerating the reaction speed. It is best to wait for a period of time for the liquid silicone to cool before use.

I believe that through this method, your liquid silicone raw material will once again have good fluidity. If your liquid silicone loses its fluidity, try this method.
