Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
What is LK-EM 6101?
LK-EM 6101 is a non-ionic, water-based silicone oil emulsion containing 1000 cSt PDMS. It provides strong mold release, durable film formation, and long-lasting surface protection.
What makes LK-EM 6101 different from standard emulsions?
• Stronger film strength
• Longer release cycles
• Better durability at elevated temperatures
What are the typical applications of LK-EM 6101?
• Foundry & Compression Molding: Reliable release for complex geometries.
• Automotive & Industrial Polishes: Imparts durable gloss and water repellence.
• Protective Cleaners: Effective on artificial leather, plastics, and rubber.
How does it perform in molding applications?
It creates a robust silicone barrier that minimizes sticking & improves release efficiency.
Can we dilute LK-EM 6101?
Yes, It can be diluted with water for a required concentration, depending upon the end-use whether for mold release, polish, or protective treatment.
Is it compatible with other systems?
Yes, being a stable non-ionic emulsion, it is broadly compatible with most formulations and application systems.
How does LK-EM 6101 stand out from other silicone emulsions?
• Reliable performance across molding, polishing, and protective cleaning.
• Ensures maximum release strength.
• Longer-lasting gloss and surface protection.
• Low-VOC, water-based formulation for safer use.
How should LK-EM 6101 be stored?
It should be stored with following conditions:
• Store in original, tightly closed containers.
• Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and frost.
• Recommended storage temperature: 5–40°C.
Does it require stirring before use?
Yes, gentle stirring is recommended before use to ensure uniformity, especially after extended storage. Avoid high-shear mixing to prevent emulsion breakage.
Can we dilute and store for later use?
Yes, it can be diluted but diluted emulsions should be used promptly.
What is the shelf life of LK-EM 6101?
When stored under proper conditions, the shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacturing.
