MICROSET 101RT BLACK 265ML – Fast-Curing Silicone Compound

MICROSET 101RT BLACK 265ML combines the fast-curing 101RT grade with a black 265ml cartridge configuration.

When choosing this product, consider the time required to reach, cover and finish the selected area. A short curing schedule can be relevant to the inspection plan, but the available application window must also suit the task.

The cartridge volume does not change the working life of the mixed material.

Exact Product Configuration

Specify all four ordering identifiers: grade, colour, volume and product code.

Published Grade Characteristics

Microset 101RT replication compound is a two-part silicone polymer with thixotropic behaviour.

Manufacturer information lists:

• Working life: 30 seconds at 25°C.
• Cure time: 5 minutes at 25°C.
• Replication resolution: 0.1µm.
• Shrinkage: less than 0.1%.
• Cured hardness: 28–30 Shore A.

These figures describe published material characteristics, not guaranteed results for every replica.

Higher temperatures shorten working and curing periods; lower temperatures extend them. The manufacturer also notes possible variation of up to ±15% between batches.

Review the official Microset thixotropic grade information before establishing the application conditions.

RT or TH: A Timing Decision

A short working-life compound should be chosen according to the task rather than the assumption that faster is always preferable.

If the application requires more positioning or finishing time, review MICROSET 101TH BLACK 265ML with the responsible technical team.

The comparison concerns grade selection. It does not authorise substitution where a procedure specifies a particular formulation.

Surface Orientation and Replica Examination

The manufacturer identifies this thixotropic surface replication compound for vertical and overhead applications.

Before selecting the black silicone replica material, confirm that the surface preparation, geometry and replica-removal method suit the planned process.

Metal surface replication reproduces surface features for examination. It does not independently identify every defect or determine component acceptance.

Interpretation must follow the applicable procedure, examination method and acceptance criteria. Published replication resolution should not be presented as complete measurement-system accuracy.

Complete the Microset 265ml Dispensing System

Use a dispenser specified for the 265ml cartridge and an appropriate static mixing nozzle.

RIO Middle East lists:

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

Confirm the cartridge connection and nozzle reference before ordering. Do not select accessories by cartridge volume or nozzle diameter alone.

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

Accessories should be itemised in the quotation rather than assumed to be included.

Documentation and Supply Requirements

Request current technical instructions and the applicable Safety Data Sheet before handling or use.

Check batch identification, expiry information, storage requirements and remaining shelf life for the actual supplied cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is MICROSET 101RT BLACK 265ML?

It is a black, fast-curing silicone replication material supplied in a 265ml twin-pack cartridge.

• How does 101RT differ from 101TH?

The grades have different published working and curing schedules. Select the formulation required by the application and approved procedure.

• Does the material remain workable for five minutes?

No. Working life and cure time are different. The published working life is 30 seconds at 25°C; the listed cure time is five minutes at that temperature.

• Is the timing identical in cold and warm conditions?

No. Temperature affects both working life and curing, and the manufacturer notes possible batch variation.

• Is the 495ml version a slower-curing material?

Not when both configurations are grade 101RT. Cartridge volume does not establish a different curing schedule.

• Are a dispenser and nozzles supplied with the cartridge?

Confirm the quotation contents. They are separately identified system components.

• Does the compound guarantee defect detection?

No. It produces a surface replica that must be examined and interpreted under the appropriate inspection procedure.

• What product code identifies this pack?

Use 104374-171 for the black 265ml configuration.
