MICROSET 101TH BLACK 265ML – Silicone Replication Cartridge

MICROSET 101TH BLACK 265ML is a cartridge-format surface replication material for documented inspection applications.

Selecting the compound is one part of the purchase. The dispensing equipment, nozzle and intended examination method also need to match the requirement.

This listing identifies the black 265ml version of the Microset 101TH replicating compound.

Ordering Details

State the grade, colour and volume together in the quotation request. “Microset cartridge” alone may not identify the required formulation.

Why Select a Thixotropic Grade?

The manufacturer describes 101TH as a thixotropic silicone compound for replicating metal surfaces. Its consistency supports application on vertical and overhead surfaces where retaining material over the selected area is important.

The black surface replication material produces a replica for subsequent examination. It does not independently classify a surface feature or determine component acceptance.

Before use, confirm that the material and replication method are appropriate for the surface and inspection procedure.

Working Time Is a Planning Condition

The published reference times for grade 101TH are:

• Working life: 3 minutes at 25°C.
• Cure time: 20 minutes at 25°C.

Temperature changes these times. Higher temperatures shorten the available working and curing periods, while lower temperatures extend them. The manufacturer also notes possible batch variation of up to ±15%.

Consult the official Microset thixotropic grade information before planning application and removal.

Build a Compatible 265ml System

The 265ml replication cartridge should be paired with suitable dispensing equipment and a static mixing nozzle.

RIO Middle East lists the following accessories:

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

The manufacturer’s 265ml system information identifies an 8mm mixing-nozzle option. Confirm the current cartridge connection and nozzle reference before purchase.

Do not assume that accessories intended for another cartridge size will fit this format. Ask whether the quoted supply includes the cartridge only or additional equipment.

For the manufacturer’s system overview, see the Microset 265ml dispensing system.

265ml Versus 495ml: What Actually Changes?

The cartridge volume and dispensing-system selection change. A different pack size does not, by itself, establish a different grade performance.

Customers requiring a larger pack can review MICROSET 101TH BLACK 495ML.

Choose the volume according to the planned material requirement and available equipment. Do not assume a fixed coverage area without application-specific information.

From Replica to Inspection Result

A metal surface replica must be prepared and examined using the appropriate procedure.

Consider:

• Surface preparation and accessibility.
• Application temperature and available working time.
• Replica removal and handling.
• Suitability for the chosen examination equipment.
• Recording and identification requirements.
• The governing acceptance criteria.

Published material-resolution figures should not be presented as guaranteed measurement accuracy for the complete inspection system.
