For optimum results, IneaPel V-2425 should be cured with a zinc stearate emulsion at a ratio of three parts silicone emulsion to two parts catalyst. IneaPel V-2425 is also recommended for use as a softener. It may be used alone or in conjunction with other softeners such as organic fatty quats depending on the final properties desired. A level of 1–2% IneaPel V-2425 is very effective with no catalyst being required for IneaPel V-2425. In this case, no special catalyst for curing the silicone would be required. Normal pad/dry/cure techniques would suffice.
