Exceptional Strength & Versatility: Unlike lightweight fairing fillers, 406 is a high-strength structural additive that creates incredibly strong bonds and fillets. It's the go-to choice for general epoxy bonding, filleting, and any application where maximum strength is required. The smooth mixture it produces is easy to work with and finishes beautifully. Key Applications: Structural Bonding: Creates maximum-strength adhesive bonds for critical joints Filleting: Produces smooth, strong fillets for tabbing bulkheads and reinforcing corners Gap Filling: Fills voids and gaps without sagging or running Fairing Compound Enhancement: Blend with lightweight fillers to improve strength, abrasion resistance, and workability Vertical & Overhead Work: Prevents epoxy runoff on challenging surfaces Enhanced Fairing Compounds: One of 406's most valuable features is its ability to improve other fillers. When combined with lightweight fairing compounds, it significantly increases their strength, abrasion resistance, and workability, resulting in a tougher, smoother surface that's easier to sand and finish. Universal Compatibility: 406 Colloidal Silica blends seamlessly into WEST SYSTEM 105 Epoxy Resin with any 200 Series Hardener, G/flex Epoxy 650, or G/5 Five-Minute Adhesive, giving you maximum flexibility across your entire epoxy toolkit. Whether you're building, repairing, or reinforcing, 406 Colloidal Silica delivers the strength, versatility, and ease of use that marine professionals rely on for critical applications.

WEST SYSTEM WEST SYSTEM Colloidal Silica 5.5 oz #406-7 $39.08 $45.72
WEST SYSTEM 406-7 Fiberglass & Repair 406 Colloidal Silica is a premium thickening additive used to control the viscosity of epoxy and prevent runoff in vertical and overhead joints. This 5.5 oz container is ideal for users who need a very strong filler that creates smooth, workable mixtures for general bonding, filleting, and structural applications. Prevents Runoff on Vertical Surfaces: When mixed with epoxy, Colloidal Silica thickens the mixture to a consistency that stays in place on vertical and overhead surfaces without sagging or running. This makes it essential for bonding and filleting applications where gravity would otherwise cause unthickened epoxy to flow away from the joint. Very Strong Filler: 406 is one of the strongest fillers in the WEST SYSTEM line, creating high-strength bonds and structural fillets that can withstand significant loads. The fine particle size creates a smooth, workable mixture that's ideal for general bonding, filleting, and applications requiring maximum strength. Smooth, Workable Consistency: Unlike some fillers that create gritty or difficult-to-work mixtures, Colloidal Silica produces a smooth, creamy consistency that's easy to apply and tool into professional-looking fillets and joints. The smooth texture also makes it easier to fair and finish after cure. Versatile Filler Applications: Beyond standalone use, 406 is often combined with other fillers to improve their properties. When added to fairing compounds, it improves strength, abrasion resistance, and consistency, resulting in a tougher, smoother surface that's easier to sand and finish. Key Benefits: Prevents Runoff: Thickens epoxy for vertical and overhead applications Very Strong: Creates high-strength structural bonds and fillets Smooth Mixture: Easy to apply and tool into professional fillets Versatile: Use alone or combine with other fillers Improves Fairing: Adds strength and smoothness to fairing compounds Off-White Color: Neutral appearance for various applications Common Applications: General bonding and structural filleting Vertical and overhead joint bonding High-strength adhesive applications Improving fairing compound properties Creating smooth, strong fillets and joints Any application requiring non-sagging, high-strength epoxy Mixing Guidelines: Add Colloidal Silica to mixed epoxy resin and hardener gradually while stirring until you achieve the desired consistency. For bonding and filleting, mix to a peanut butter-like consistency that holds its shape without sagging. For thinner applications, use less filler. This 5.5 oz container provides sufficient filler for typical bonding and filleting projects. The very strong, smooth-working properties make it an essential additive for professional-quality structural epoxy work. Part Number: 406-7UPC Code: 811343011505
