Noah's Cabosil 10 Kg Bag

Description

When mixed into liquid resin, Cabosil functions as a resin thickener (flow control agent) and sometimes as an anti-settling, anti-caking agent. During the cure cycle, polyesters and epoxies being liquids tend to run off of vertical surfaces and accumulate on horizontal surfaces. The vertical surfaces become resin starved, whereas valleys become resin rich. The resin starved areas fail to achieve expected strength, and the resin rich areas suffer excessive shrinkage and warpage. Both of these undesirable conditions can be eliminated with the addition of the proper amount of cabosil. This thixotropic agent holds the liquid resin in place until the curing agent takes over and hardens it.
