Properties
  • Good heat- and reversion-stabilized.
  • Excellent resistance to mineral oil.

Non-post-cure properties:

  • The differences in the mechanical properties of post- cured and non-post-cured vulcanizates are only very slight.
  • When Curing Agent E is used, blooming of the decomposition products will not occur.
  • Good elasticity and low compression set, even when Curing Agent E is used.
Note

Cure conditions: 0.7 % ELASTOSIL® AUX Crosslinker C1 (Dicumylperoxide), 15 min / 165 °C in press, post-cured 4 h / 200 °C.
