Technical Tips – What is Crystallisation?

Crystallisation is a process where organic compounds go from a liquid state to a solid crystalline structure. In some cases this prove to be an unwanted phenomenon. In the case of epoxy systems, the risk of crystallisation increases when stored at low temperatures. Crystallisation happens in a very random way and is therefore hard to predict. The process is ultimately dependent on the purity of the raw materials used in the polymer system. The lower the number of contaminants that are present in the system, the higher the risk of crystallisation.


However, the process of decrystallization is possible when necessary. To learn more take a look at the below PDF!

Technical Tips – Checking Silicone conditions

Technical Tip – Checking if Silicone is in fine condition to use
At HITEK we supply a lot of products that are made of Silicone which means regular checks are required to see if the material is useable.

To determine if silicone has gone bad involves a few key things:

  • Visual Inspection
  • Texture and Flexibility
  • Odour
  • Expiration Date
  • Storage Conditions
    If you have any queries or concerns regarding silicone conditioning, please enquire on our technical advice page here: Technical Advice – HITEK Electronic Materials LTD (hitek-ltd.co.uk)
