- Application Details
- ELASTOSIL® R 401/10 OH is suitable for all applications where low hardness, high elongation, good damping etc. are required in combination with typical silicone properties such as very good heat resistance, good release, soft grip etc.
- Postcured parts can be used for food contact applications and are suitable for use under the Recommendation "XV. Silicones" of the BfR and FDA 177.2600 under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
Processing
- The raw rubber requires the addition of peroxides for vulcanization at elevated temperatures. A homogeneous incorporation is a must, but please avoid temperatures >30°C along the incorporation process in order to maintain best processing behavior.
- Pot life is depending on the used peroxide and storage condition. For detailed information please refer to the latest edition of our brochure "SOLID AND LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER - MATERIAL AND PROCESSING GUIDELINES".
- ELASTOSIL® R 401/10 OH can be used in combination with known peroxides. Dosage of 0.5% of crosslinker E for extrusion and 0.6% of C1 (dicumylperoxide) for molding purposes will lead to lowest durometer values still maintaining good processing behavior.
- Higher dosage of the above mentioned peroxides will lead to harder vulcanizates, however, the hardness will predictably always be below 20 ShA. Processing in extrusion as well as in molding can be carried out as usual. ELASTOSIL® R 401/10 OH is only slightly slower in crosslinking speed than harder rubbers due to its lower vinyl density.
