Descripción

Product Information

UCA-3(HT) is a colourless product with the consistency of grease, consisting of a blend of silicone and organic compounds, corrosion inhibitors and thickening agents. It is specially formulated to be used at high temperatures, from 40°C up to 250°C.

This product does not exhibit thixotropic properties but its physical form ensures it stays in position when applied and does not drip or run from the part under test. The excellent wetting properties ensure free and even movement of ultrasonic probes over both rough and smooth surfaces with immediate and excellent acoustic transmission.

Due to the presence of special organic corrosion inhibitors, the product will not corrode most metals. The product is low in sulphur and halogens and essentially ash free on ignition (see Typical Properties below).

It is oil- and silicone-based, it contains no powerful solvents and is therefore without effect on painted surfaces, plastics, synthetic or natural rubbers.

UCA-3(HT) contains no known toxic ingredient and the effect on skin is negligible. The presence of surface-active agents could exert a slight defatting effect on persistent or prolonged contact; this may be avoided by the application of a barrier cream.

Method of UCA-3HT use

UCA-3(HT) is supplied in 1L tubs and normally applied by hand or with a soft bristle brush.

It can be removed with alcohol, acetone or a similar solvent. it is used as supplied.
