Applications & Uses
- Application Details
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL ORANGE RAL 2004 has been developed particularly for coloring addition-curing ELASTOSIL® LR liquid silicone rubber and ELASTOSIL® RT RTV-2 silicone rubber.
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL ORANGE RAL 2004 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 ORANGE RAL 2004 F may be an appropriate alternative.
Processing
Before using an ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL, the color paste must be thoroughly stirred. This is also necessary if there has been a long interruption in production or from time to time in case of very long productions runs. Depending on the color intensity desired, 0.5 to 4.0 % pigment paste should be added. The concentration 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.

- Properties
ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL ORANGE RAL 2004 is pourable and ready-to-use after stirring up. A dilution is not required. The colors have generally a good resistance to sunlight, UV and hot air. The resistance should be checked for individual cases, especially for long term applications. If the dosage recommendations are followed, the mechanical properties of the colored vulcanizates will not be significantly impaired.
