Technovit Provil– Silicones
• High precision impressions (<0.1 µm)
Due to the special material properties of Technovit Provil, it can be used to replicate surfaces with such precision that deviations are kept lower than 0.1 μm. This means that in metallography, for example, the structures of etched microstructure surfaces can be replicated with the utmost precision. The impression can be used to make a mould by using suitable polymers, such as Technovit 3040, to obtain a second positive, without any loss of quality.
• Optimum level of resilience for use on complicated geometric objects with undercuts
Due to its excellent resilience, Technovit Provil makes it possible to take impressions of difficult areas and to measure these after the impression has been taken. These advantages are used, for example, to measure the rate of wear of cavities in tools and machine components, without having to use costintensive techniques. Perfect results thanks to easy application methods.
• Faultless working due to extremely simple application
The self-mixing cartouche system excludes faulty dosing. The kneadable products come with colour coded spoons and products in order to avoid confusion.
• Ready for application within a few seconds due to the easy mixing procedure
No special previous knowledge required for application. In comparison to other methods, Technovit Provil is very advantageous for use in places that are difficult to get to or for work performed overhead. Technovit Provil can be removed easily from the sample object without leaving any residues.
• Cost efficient method
Users of Technovit Provil do not need to invest in special training or application devices. The competitive price of the consumables and the short time required for its application make it easy to decide on Technovit Provil!
• No dangerous goods
Technovit Provil can be applied anywhere without risks, particularly in areas which already pose a high potential of danger (e.g. corrosion surveys in tank farms, gas pipes etc). Transportation of Technovit Provil is also risk-free, and the products have been approved for all modes of transportation.
• Does not develop any temperatures when curing
Technovit Provil does not develop any temperatures during the curing process, and hence does not negatively influence the surface structure of objects – which is particularly important for a broad range of scientific applications and when taking impressions for restoration purposes.
• Many analysis and application possibilities
Technovit Provil silicones do not react in any way with other substances. This means that impressions of all kinds of surfaces can be taken, irrespective of the material of which those objects are composed. These surface impressions can be analysed by using light microscopes or SEM’s (at a low accelerating voltage of max. 5 kV). Technovit Provil impressions can also be used for roughness measurements.
