  • Best Practices for Dow HV 1520/40

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Mixing

      Mix parts A and B in a 1:1 ratio. Meter mix equipment which pumps, meters and mixes the two components without the incorporation of air is strongly recommended for production.

    2. Deairing/Degassing

      If air bubbles are entrapped during mixing the mixture must be thoroughly de-gassed under vacuum.

    3. Curing

      DOW CORNING HV 1520/40 cures rapidly at elevated temperatures. A 2mm cross-section requires 8-14 seconds at 200°C (392°F). The cure time depends on the thickness and the cure temperature used. Cure can be inhibited by contact with certain materials such as amines, sulphur and tin complexes.

    4. Clean-Up

      The uncured silicone can readily be removed by most hydrocarbon solvents. Polar solvents, such as ketones and alcohols, are not suitable.
