ELASTOSIL® LR 3072/40 A/B

1 of 114 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® LR 3072/40 A/B is a self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber of the ELASTOSIL® LR 3072 series. It is a paste-like, easily pigmentable, two-component compound with an extremely short curing time. Shortly after the curing process, a thin oil film with lubricating properties forms on the surface of the vulcanizates. The vulcanizates are opaque and have good mechanical and electrical properties.

Polymer Name: Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR)

End Uses: Automobile Door Seals, Batteries, Cables

Features: Cost Effective, Excellent Lubricity, Fast Curing, Good Electrical Properties, Good Mechanical Properties, High Bleed Resistant, Pigmentable

Tear Strength: 21.0 - 21.0 kN/m

Application Details

ELASTOSIL® LR 3072 series are particularly suitable for the economical production of large series of overmolded parts (thermoplastic/elastomer), even in a comolding process (shuttle mold) under standard conditions, without any special treatment of the mold surface. They are increasingly being used to produce cable and connector seals for the automotive industry. As an oil film forms, seals can be fitted easily and fully-automatically, even when tolerances are narrow. Parts made from ELASTOSIL® LR 3072 can generally be used for technical applications without post-curing, but do not comply with regulations concerning use in the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Processing

The A and B components are delivered ready to use in 20 kg pail and 200 kg drum kits. With adequate metering equipment, they can be pumped directly from the original containers into the injection molding machine and mixed by a static mixer. The mixing ratio is 1 : 1. At room temperature, mixtures of A and B components have a pot life of at least three days.

Note : Start-up of new molds should be supported by use of ELASTOSIL® AUX Mold Release Agent 32.

Properties

ELASTOSIL® LR 3072 series are primerless, selfbonding grades that adhere to various plastic substrates (e. g. PA, PBT) and metals, but not in the mold. The bonding is improved by a subsequent heat treatment process (e.g. one hour at 100°C) or by a longer storing at room temperature. Because of the individual surface properties adhesion to the substrate must be tested before production.

Note

Cure conditions : 5 min / 165°C in press.
