NOVOCS® is a low viscosity silicone solvent that evaporates quickly. NOVOCS® will lower the viscosity of Smooth-On silicone rubbers and contains no VOC’s. NOVOCS® is particulary useful in thinning down Psycho Paint® silicone paint base to apply via brush or airbrush to cured platinum silicone rubber props and prosthetics.
WARNING - FLAMMABLE Liquid and vapor. Keep away from ignition sources and follow precautions for handling flammables.
NOVOCS® offers the following advantages:- A lower mixed viscosity (A+B) means that the rubber will de-air faster when vacuuming.
- Mixed rubber (A+B) will flow better over intricate model detail.
- Pot life (working time) is increased in proportion to the amount of NOVOCS® used
Disadvantage: Ultimate shrinkage of the rubber is increased in proportion to the amount of NOVOCS® added, however knotty tear properties of the Mold Max® series rubbers are unaffected.
Directions: Materials should be stored and used in a warm environment (73° F / 23° C). This material has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. WARNING - This material is flammable. Keep away from ignition sources and follow precautions for handling flammables.
