`
`DESCRIPTION
`Dow Corning® 3179 Dilatant
`Compound is a coral-colored silicone
`polymer that exhibits high elasticity,
`high bounce and a unique combination
`of rheological properties. It offers ease
`of movement under low mechanical
`force and yet exhibits excellent
`resistance to slump or flow when at
`rest.
`
`HOW TO USE
`Dow Corning 3179 Dilatant
`Compound is designed specifically for
`the novelty toy market for use by
`children to bounce, stretch and snap.
`Its non-slumping characteristic offers
`an additional dimension to this
`product. It can be used to mold simple
`shapes such as cubes, rectangles and
`pyramids and retain these shapes for
`weeks, a feature that can expand the
`scope of this product from the novelty
`to the educational. This resistance to
`static flow in combination with ease of
`manipulation is a feature of
`Dow Corning 3179 Dilatant
`Compound.
`
`PERFORMANCE
`Cleanup
`If Dow Corning 3179 Dilatant
`Compound is worked into material or
`carpets, it may be removed by the
`careful application of 95 percent
`isopropyl alcohol and repeated
`blotting or brushing. As with all stain
`removal, check for colorfastness and
`resistance to fiber damage before
`applying isopropyl alcohol to an
`exposed area of the material.
`
`NOTE: Always provide adequate
`ventilation when using any volatile
`solvent. Avoid heat, sparks and open
`flame. Follow all precaution listed on
`solvent container label.
