INTENSIL™ 40 Heat-Cure Silicone Intensifier Compound
- AeroFilm®
- INT40-1
- No reviews
Soft and pliable uncured 40 Shore-A silicone intensifier compound with a long outlife, low cure temperature, high thermal expansion and high service temperature for use in prepreg composites part production.
Primarily used to create consolidation pressure in restricted mould cavities or simplify or improve the reliability of bagging in tight corners. INTENSIL 40 can be co-cured alongside the prepreg in 1hr at 120°C.
Available in 1kg or 5kg packs.

INTENSIL™ 40 is a soft, pliable, uncured 40 Shore-A silicone compound developed for use as a silicone intensifier in prepreg production. Typically, the compound is used to create close-fitting silicone inserts which ensure maximum pressure is applied to the laminate in hard-to-bag corners and details, reducing the risk of bag bridging and speeding up the laminating process. In captive mould geometries, the high CTE of INTENSIL can also create significant consolidation pressure on the laminate.
Silicone intensifier compound can also be used to reduce the risk of burst bags by using it to create caps for sharp features like bolts or clamping bushes, or plugs for holes or deep recesses.
The 40 Shore-A hardness provides the ideal balance between conformability and firmness, making it easy to accurately shape and smooth when forming the intensifier piece, as well as easily remove and refit during repeated use.
INTENSIL 40 is supplied in high-visibility yellow.
Features
- Highly conformable 40 Shore-A hardness
- High thermal expansion (CTE)
- High tear-strength
- Service temperature up to 210°C
- Variable cure from 100°C
- 6 month out-life
How to Use
Moulding & Shaping
When used for the first time, intensifiers are typically co-cured under vacuum bag pressure in an oven or autoclave, alongside the uncured prepreg laminate.
INTENSIL 40 should be separated from the uncured laminate (or the mould) using an unperforated release film, such as R210. In its uncured state it is soft and pliable and is easily applied and shaped by hand, or using shaping tools, to fill cavities and corners, or domed over details such as bolts or clamping bushes.
Curing
INTENSIL 40 is supplied as an uncured silicone compound and requires heat to cure. Typically, the compound is co-cured alongside the prepreg on first use, following the normal cure-cycle for the prepreg.
| Temperature | 100°C | 110°C | 120°C | 140°C |
| Time | 4hrs | 2hrs | 1hr | 30mins |
Continued Use
Once cured, intensifiers made with INTENSIL 40 are reusable indefinitely. The intensifier should always be separated from the prepreg laminate using release film.
Further Information
Safety
Wear gloves when handling the uncured silicone. Always read and follow the accompanying safety and technical datasheets before use.
Storage
INTENSIL 40 has a shelf-life of 6 months at room temperature (20°C) and 2 years when stored frozen. Avoid storage conditions above 20°C as this will shorten the shelf-life of the compound.

Honestly, we’ve not tried this but it could be possible. However, silicone is inexpensive (cheaper than 3D print, probably) and does the job so well (squishy, able to conform) that I think it’s unlikely that a 3D print would work as well. Possibly TPU, but the INTENSIL compound is so quick, easy and effective that unless you can’t get hold of some, it’s probably hard to beat with any kind of 3D print.
The density is 1.12g/cm³, which means each kg of product has a volume it can fill of 892cm³.
Unfortunately not. The Minimum cure temperature is 100°C, at which, the Intensil 40 will cure in 4 hours.
