LIM™ 6010 liquid silicone rubber is a two-component product formulated for use in liquid injection molding to produce elastomeric parts where low-durometer is a key requirement. LIM6010 elastomer is clear, but easily pigmentable with Momentive masterbatch colors. The combination of low-durometer and non-tackiness allows the product to be used in such consumer goods applications as corn pads and heel inserts, where 'soft touch' sensory characteristics are important. LIM6010 elastomer offers a convenient 1:1 mix ratio and releases easily from molds. Cure time is rapid, generally 10 to 40 seconds at 150°C (302°F) - 204°C (400°F), depending on part size, configuration, and molding temperature.Key Features and Benefits Low-Durometer Non-Tackiness Sensory Characteristics (Added Cushioning) Rapid molding cycle times - > 20-60 seconds Convenient 1:1 Mix Ratio Outstanding Thermal Cycling Performance Potential ApplicationsThe combination of low-durometer and non-tackiness allows the product to be used in such consumer goods applications, where 'soft touch' sensory characteristics are important.
