Description
The Shin-Etsu Catalyst 1604 is a translucent curing agent used with Shin-Etsu silicone rubber bases. The translucent color makes it easy to verify mix ratio when you fold the Shin-Etsu Catalyst 1604 into the base. Pairing the catalyst with the matching base produces consistent cure behavior in molded and extruded silicone parts.
