FAQs

What is Dow SILASTIC Blue used for?

Dow SILASTIC Blue is a precision silicone catalyst formulated for use with Dow’s SILASTIC RTV-3 Series bases. It ensures fast, consistent room-temperature vulcanization (RTV), delivering reliable curing for mold-making, prototyping, and encapsulation applications that demand high dimensional accuracy and durability.

How should I mix Dow SILASTIC Blue with the silicone base?

Combine one part catalyst with ten parts SILASTIC RTV-3 Series base by weight. Mix thoroughly until the blue tint is evenly distributed, confirming full blending. Proper mixing ensures consistent curing, uniform mold texture, and predictable demold times.

What are the working and curing times?

The typical working time is 60 to 90 minutes after mixing, with full cure and demolding achievable in 6 to 12 hours at room temperature. Cure time can vary based on ambient conditions and the specific SILASTIC base used.

Why is Dow SILASTIC Blue colored?

Its blue tint provides a clear visual indicator during mixing, ensuring even catalyst dispersion throughout the silicone base. This prevents incomplete curing, helping achieve consistent mold strength, flexibility, and surface detail.

Can Dow SILASTIC Blue be used with other silicone systems?

No. Dow SILASTIC Blue is engineered specifically for SILASTIC RTV-3 Series bases. Using it with other silicone or polyester systems may cause cure inhibition or inconsistent performance.
