MT6000 Silicone fluid

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MT6000 is a silicone fluid based on straight chained polydimethylsiloxane fluid.

APPLICATIONS

• Thermostatic fluids (-50°C – 200°C)

• Dielectric fluids (impregnation of paper for condensers)

• Anti-blotting products for photocopying machines.

• Thinning and plastifying agents for RTV’s and silicone sealants.

• Lubricating and heat protecting agents for textile threads (synthetic sewing threads)

• Ingredients in maintenance products (polishes, wax polishes, floor and furniture polishes, etc.).

• Paint additives (anti-cratering, anti-floating/flooding and anti-scratching effects, etc.).

• Water repellent treatment:

– of powders ( for paints and plastics)

– of fibres : glass fibres

• Release agents (mould release for plastics and metal castings)

• Surfactants for styrene-butadiene foam.

Typical Properties

• Very good resistance to high and low temperatures

• Good combustion resistance

• Good dielectric properties

• Low surface tension

• High compressibility

• Absence of ageing upon exposure to atmospheric agents

• Good oxidation resistance

• Little change in viscosity with temperature

• Good resistance to high and prolonged shear stress

STORAGE AND HANDLING

When stored in the original unopened packaging at a temperature of between –20°C and 50°C, MT6000 may be stored for up to 2 years from its date of manufacture (expiry date). Comply with storage instructions and expiry date marked on the packaging.and recommendations made by material safety datasheet be observed at all times.
