- Application Details
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL GREY RAL 7040 has been developed particularly for coloring addition-curing ELASTOSIL® LR liquid silicone rubber and ELASTOSIL® RT RTV-2 silicone rubber.
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL GREY RAL 7040 may be used for coloring silicone parts intended for sensitive applications and complying with the “Recommendation XV. Silicones" and “IX.
- Pigments for coloring plastics" of the BfR under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
- For sensitive applications requiring broader approvals, ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL WINDOW GREY RAL 7040 K1 may be an appropriate alternative.
Processing
Before using ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTES FL, the paste must be thoroughly stirred. This is also required if there has been a long interruption in production. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure in case of very long production runs. Depending on the color intensity desired, 0.5 to 4.0 % pigment paste should be added, the usual dosage being 2%. Generally, the dosage should be kept at a minimum. In individual cases, an excess of color paste may slow down the curing characteristics. Customers may produce other colors by mixing pigment pastes. Suggestions for formulations can be provided on request.
