NOVOCS™ solvents are low viscosity silicone solvents that evaporate quickly. NOVOCS™ is particularly useful in thinning down Psycho Paint silicone paint base to apply via brush or airbrush to cured platinum silicone rubber props and prosthetics. When used as a solvent for thinning silicone paints or surface coatings, NOVOCS™ Matte will leave a matte finish.
WARNING — FLAMMABLE Liquid and vapor. Keep away from ignition sources and follow precautions for handling flammables.
Features
- NOVOCS™ solvents do not contain VOCs.
- NOVOCS™ solvents are low viscosity silicone solvents that evaporate quickly.
- NOVOCS™ Matte leaves a matte finish.
Instructions
Important — Shake the NOVOCS™ container well before use.
Materials should be stored and used in a warm environment of 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 the risk of contamination.
Mix the A and B components of two-component silicone systems before adding NOVOCS™. Add the desired amount of NOVOCS™ solvent to create a thinner silicone mixture that can be brushed or airbrushed onto the surface of a cured silicone casting.
Example recommended proportions for use:
- When added to Psycho Paint, add between 200%-400% NOVOCS™ solvent by weight
- When adding to Sil-Poxy, add between 300%-500% NOVOCS™ solvent by weight
Because no two applications are alike, a small test application is recommended to determine suitability for your project if the performance of this material is compromised.
