Processing
- ELASTOSIL® N10 TRANSPARENT is a one-part room temperature vulcanizing sealant that cures to a flexible silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture. Higher humidity accelerates skin formation and curing as well as elevated temperature. However temperature shall not exceed 50°C during cure.
- During the crosslinking process, some oxime byproduct is released. After about 25 minutes a dry skin is formed. After formation of a sufficiently thick skin, glued parts may be handled without destruction. ELASTOSIL® N10 shows good primerless adhesion to many substrates.
- We recommend to run preliminary tests to optimize conditions for the particular application. If removing of silicone rubber from machines or dispensing equipment is necessary, white spirit is recommended as a solvent.
- However, cleaning should take place before the rubber is fully cured. Afterwards only the use of mechanical forces in combination with a swelling solvent or the use of high temperatures of approximately 100°C will help to remove sealant residues.

Safety & Health
- Safety Note
- During vulcanization of ELASTOSIL® N10 TRANSPARENT, a total of 4% by weight of an oxime is being split off. These vapors should not be inhaled for long periods or in high concentration. Work areas should therefore be well ventilated.
- Contact of unvulcanized silicone rubber with eyes and mucous membranes must be avoided as this would cause irritation. However if it does happen, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water.
