Processing
- ELASTOSIL® R 573/50 A/B is delivered as A- & B-component system.
- ELASTOSIL® R 573/50 A/B are homogeneously mixed in a ration of 1 : 1. Care must be taken to keep the compound cool during mixing. Crosslinking begins when mixing both components together. The rate and degree of crosslinking depends on the storage time and temperature.
- At 23 °C the mixture has a pot life of about 24 h. This can be extended by storing the catalyzed mixture at a lower temperature.
- A homogeneous mixture is a must, but please avoid temperatures >30 °C along the mixing process in order to maintain best processing behavior.
