CAT-1310 is a platinum-based curing catalyst developed for addition-cure RTV silicone systems. It is supplied as a clear liquid that integrates smoothly into base silicone resins, maintaining formulation transparency and handling consistency. During use, it provides a predictable curing experience with stable mixing behavior and controlled reaction progression, allowing processors to maintain steady production rhythms and consistent end-product quality without frequent process recalibration.

• Controlled Curing - CAT-1310 activates hydrosilylation reactions in addition-cure RTV silicone with a stable and controllable curing profile. Within typical processing ranges of 25–150 °C, the catalyst delivers consistent reaction initiation and progression. When platinum dosage is maintained within 10–50 ppm, curing time deviation is generally controlled within ±8%, supporting repeatable production cycles and uniform crosslink formation.

  
  

• Performance Stability - Silicone systems cured with CAT-1310 demonstrate stable mechanical and electrical performance due to uniform crosslink density. Tensile strength variation across batches can be limited to within ±5% under standardized curing conditions. Electrical volume resistivity commonly exceeds 10¹⁴ Ω·cm, ensuring reliable insulation behavior in cured silicone materials.

  
  

• Reaction Adjustability - CAT-1310 allows curing speed to be adjusted by catalyst concentration and inhibitor balance without compromising curing uniformity. Pot life can be extended from minutes to several hours while maintaining complete cure integrity. This adjustability supports different mold sizes, part thicknesses, and production takt times without introducing cure gradients.

  
  

• Mix Compatibility - The catalyst exhibits high compatibility with base silicone resins and fillers, showing minimal impact on formulation viscosity. Typical viscosity increase remains below 3% after addition, supporting smooth mixing and degassing. Uniform dispersion helps maintain consistent platinum distribution, reducing the risk of localized under- or over-curing.

• RTV Silicone Molding - In addition-cure RTV silicone molding, CAT-1310 supports controlled flow and curing balance during mold filling. Stable reaction timing allows complete cavity filling before gelation begins, reducing defects such as air entrapment or incomplete replication. This behavior is particularly beneficial for molds with complex geometries and fine surface details.

  
  

• Electronics Encapsulation - For electronic encapsulation processes, CAT-1310 enables predictable curing around sensitive components. Controlled reaction rates help limit thermal stress during curing, protecting solder joints and electronic assemblies. Cured silicone systems typically maintain dielectric strength above 20 kV/mm, supporting long-term electrical reliability.

  
  

• Industrial Tooling and Casting - In industrial tooling and casting applications, CAT-1310 provides consistent curing performance across both small and large-volume castings. Controlled crosslink development helps reduce internal stress buildup, supporting dimensional stability. This contributes to improved surface integrity and reduced post-cure deformation in finished silicone parts.
