Application Information:
Rheology Control for Coatings, Adhesive and other Liquid Systems: CAB-O-SIL EH-5 can be used to provide thickening, thixotrophic (shear-thinning), and anti-settling behavior in liquid systems. Very high shear dispersion equipment is required to realize the full benefits of EH-5. For clear coatings and other systems, very well dispersed EH-5 provides the greatest transparency.
Reinforcement of Silicone and Organic Rubber:
CAB-O-SIL EH-5 can be used for reinforcement of silicone rubber and can be used to reinforce organic rubbers. It imparts good increase in hardness, tensile and elongation. For clear silicone rubber applications, very well dispersed EH-5 provides the greatest transparency.
