SUGGESTED HANDLING & CURING: 115-08 is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of CMI Thinner #113-12 (slow drying) and/or xylene (fast drying). Prior to using, be certain to re suspend silver. Best properties, for most applications, result when allowed to dry at room temperature followed by curing for 5-10 min. at 175°C. Good properties are obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 150°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications.
STORAGE: Shelf life: 6 months at -10°C.
SAFETY & HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. Keep away from sparks and open flames. Avoid prolonged contact with skin and breathing of vapors. Wash with soap and water to remove from skin.
