Instructions for Use

Warranty
6 MonthsApply directly to surfaces by dipping, spraying or wiping. When desiring a very thin film of fluid, dilute to 1-5% weight silicone solids in a compatible solvent. Then apply this solution to a surface using the above techniques. After applying, allow sufficient time to permit the solvent to evaporate.

Although FS-3606 Fluid possesses excellent lubricant characteristics, the fluid may not provide satisfactory lubrication in load-bearing situations, especially metal against metal. FS-3606 contains about 60 mole percent fluorinated polymer, which reduces its solubility in most silicone elastomers, particularly polydimethylsiloxane elastomers, while retaining good wetting properties. The combination of reduced solubility and good surface wetting properties allows the fluid to remain on the surface of the silicone polymer longer than polydimethylsiloxane fluids, resulting in improved long-term surface lubricity and reduced elastomer swelling. Since FS-3606's rate of diffusion into silicone elastomers decreases as the molecular weight of the fluid increases, the higher viscosity fluids lubricate a silicone elastomeric surface for a slightly longer period than lower viscosity fluids. Before exposing a silicone elastomer to any fluid, evaluate the effect of the exposure on performance.

Thin films of FS-3606 Fluid on plastics, metal and glass provide a temporary, water-repellent barrier. On temperature-resistant materials such as glass, ceramic and metal, this fluid film can be converted to a highly durable hydrophobic film by heating the treated surface. Heating 2 hours at 250????C (482????F), 1 hour at 276????C (529????F) or 30 minutes at 300????C (572F) is satisfactory.

SOLVENT COMPATIBILITY
FS-3606 is soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbon (e.g., methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1 trichloroethane), and ketones (e.g. acetone, MEK, MIBK). FS-3606 is also slightly soluble (the solution is hazy) in aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral spirits and alcohol IPA.
