The amount of main components is given on parts by weight.
*Pot life and demolding time are referred to the system with the given amount of catalyst, TecnoKat D5 can be used to adjust pot life and demolding time.

Post Curing Information

Do not allow excessive cooling of molded parts between demolding and post-curing.

Hardness Temperature (°C) Time (hours)
From 75 ShA to 60 ShD 90 16

For hardness ≤ 78 ShA it is recommended to wait 24 h at room temperature before the post-curing cycle.
For hardness > 93 ShA, two annealing steps are recommended to quickly reach the best performances; let the material cool down to room temperature in between the 2 post curing processes.
