Hypertex® Repellix
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
Hypertex® Repellix is a two-component silicone elastomer featuring an addition curing system. Post-curing, it maintains its color without any changes, offering excellent washing durability. Its viscosity is well-suited for printing applications, providing an outstanding silky touch effect. Additionally, it exhibits both high and low heat resistance. Curing time can be expedited by using elevated temperatures. This elastomer presents itself with a transparent appearance.
