When selecting materials, in addition to performance, safety and ease of use are also key concerns for users. IOTA 9150 Organopolysilazane excels in both aspects, allowing users to use it with confidence and peace of mind.
First, let’s talk about safety. This product is classified as a highly flammable liquid and vapor. Therefore, during storage and use, it must be kept away from heat sources and ignition sources to prevent safety accidents. At the same time, it is harmful if swallowed and may cause eye damage. Thus, during operation, it is essential to wear protective gear such as gloves and masks to avoid direct skin contact and accidental ingestion. If it comes into contact with the eyes accidentally, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention promptly.
There are also clear requirements for storage. It should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment, with a recommended storage temperature of 0-20°C—this ensures the product’s performance remains stable to the greatest extent. The shelf life is 12 months in unopened condition; after the shelf life expires, the product can only be used continuously if it passes re-inspection. Moreover, after taking the required amount, the container must be immediately purged with nitrogen or argon to replace air and then completely sealed. This prevents the product from reacting with air, which would affect its usability.
Next, let’s look at ease of use. It has excellent compatibility: it is miscible with most non-polar solvents (such as alkanes, ethers, ketones, and esters), making it easy to adjust formulations according to actual needs. It is also miscible with various resins like epoxy silicone resins and silicone resins. When mixed with silicone resins, it not only shortens the curing time but also increases the resin’s hardness—creating more possibilities for product R&D and production.
Cleaning is also simple and effective. After use, residual uncured product can be easily cleaned by wiping the surface with acetone or mineral spirits immediately. If the product has already cured, it cannot be removed with solvents, but it can be eliminated by treating it with a strong alkali (such as a 10% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) for more than 5 hours, leaving no hard-to-clean residues.
Additionally, during spraying, to keep the coating transparent, it is recommended to use argon, high-purity nitrogen, or similar gases instead of air. This avoids partial curing of the product during spraying, which would cause the coating to turn white. These thoughtful usage details make IOTA 9150 more convenient and reliable in practical applications, earning it wide recognition from users.
