MICROSET 101TH GRAY 265ML – Surface Replication Compound

MICROSET 101TH GRAY 265ML identifies the grey version of the 101TH replication grade in a 265ml cartridge.

The colour, material grade and pack volume should all appear on the quotation and purchase order. This helps distinguish the item from black formulations, other Microset grades and different cartridge sizes.

Microset 101TH surface replication material is used to reproduce surface detail for subsequent examination. It is not an adhesive, repair filler or coating.

Product Selection Record

This page refers to one specific product configuration. Other colours and volumes should be requested under their own references.

Where the Thixotropic Grade Fits

The manufacturer describes 101TH as a thixotropic replicating compound for metal surfaces, including vertical and overhead replication.

Its consistency is relevant when selecting material for an area where a free-flowing formulation may not suit the application.

The grey silicone replication compound should still be assessed against the actual surface, geometry, preparation requirements and examination method. Suitability cannot be established from colour alone.

Published Timing and Material Data

The manufacturer lists these reference values for the 101TH grade:

Working and curing times change with temperature. Higher temperatures shorten them, while lower temperatures extend them. The manufacturer also notes possible variation of up to ±15% between batches.

These figures describe the material under the published conditions. They do not guarantee the accuracy of every finished replica or measurement.

Review the official Microset 101 thixotropic technical information before establishing application conditions.

Grey and Black: Keep Colour Separate from Performance

Microset lists both grey and black formulations within its replication systems.

A colour designation should not be converted into an unsupported claim about better sensitivity, visibility or measurement accuracy. Select the specified formulation according to the inspection procedure and intended examination.

If the requirement calls for black material, view MICROSET 101TH BLACK 265ML.

Arrange the Dispensing Equipment

A 265ml twin-pack cartridge requires an appropriate dispensing arrangement and static mixing nozzle.

RIO Middle East lists the following Microset 265ml dispensing accessories:

• 265ml Manual Dispensing Gun
• 265ml Pneumatic Dispensing Gun
• 8mm Mixing Nozzle Pack

Confirm the cartridge connection and nozzle reference before ordering. Ask whether the quotation covers the cartridge only or includes accessories.

The manufacturer’s 265ml system overview provides the available system components.

Prepare for Examination, Not Just Application

Before taking a replica, establish how it will be examined and recorded.

Confirm:

• The feature or surface area to be reproduced.
• The preparation permitted on the component.
• The available working time under actual conditions.
• The method of replica removal and handling.
• The examination equipment and acceptance criteria.
• The identification needed for inspection records.

A replica reproduces surface features; it does not independently determine whether a component passes inspection.

Documentation and Batch Checks

Request the current technical instructions and applicable Safety Data Sheet for the supplied product.

Check the batch label, expiry information, storage requirements and remaining shelf life before use. Do not assume that a shelf-life figure guarantees the same remaining period on delivery.

No product-specific approval or safety claim should be inferred from the Microset brand name alone.

• What is the published cure time?

The listed cure time is 20 minutes at 25°C. Actual application conditions must be considered.

• Does 0.1µm mean guaranteed measurement accuracy?

No. It is the published replication resolution, not a guarantee for the complete examination or measurement system.

• Are the dispenser and mixing nozzles included?

Confirm the quotation contents. The manufacturer lists cartridges and dispensing accessories as separate system items.
