Application Details

The compounds are recommended for all kinds of seals that come into contact with mineral oils. ELASTOSIL® R 701/40 S is used especially when low compression set is crucial for achieving good seal properties. The compounds may also be used for making high quality silicone-rubber-covered rollers.

Processing

  • ELASTOSIL® R 701/40 S is not recommended for the extrusion. ELASTOSIL® R 701/40 S can be vulcanized with peroxides normally used for press molding silicone rubber.
