Product Description

FORMULA 1/HT is a high temperature silicone release agent and lubricant. It has been formulated for moulding and spinneret head-plate lubrication - but is effective on a large range of materials and processes. Contains no chlorinated solvents or ozone depleters.APPLICATIONSFORMULA 1/HT contains a special dimethylpolysiloxane-based fluid with increased resistance to weight loss - viscosity change and gelation at temperatures up to 288C. At this temperature - the product provides resistance to gelation of 5000 hours continuous and will give a similar resistance at 300C+ for intermittent periods.At 300C+ gelation will occur earlier due to the reduced oxidation resistance and tests should be conducted - according to the intended application to determine the optimum period obtained before a full clean-down is required.When used for the lubrication of the spinneret head-plate for the production of synthetic fibres - any slight residue may be cleaned off with a copper blade. The appearance of white crystals on the head-plate is caused by the oligomer byproduct of Nylon manufacture and is not caused by the release agent.After continuous use for periods up to 1200 hours - correct maintenance of the head-plate by cleaning in an ultrasonic bath will ensure maximum life of the head-plate and reduce downtime caused by hand cleaning

TEST METHODThe gelation time of the fluids was determined by heating a 3mm thick layer of fluid in a glass dish of 40mm diameter at 250C or 300C in air.The product may be stored at normal ambient temperatures and has a shelf life of not less than 72 months with correct storage. Aerosols should always be stored below 50OC - away from direct heat and naked flame.
