ELASTOSIL® R 755/40 OH

1 of 127 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® R 755/40 OH is a high-consistency silicone rubber (HCR) specifically designed for manufacturing silicone rubber-based spin casting disks. This product features a low viscosity and is peroxide-curing. It exhibits an extremely high network density, making it highly durable and resistant to liquid alloys in spin casting applications. Additionally, it has the ability to accept large amounts of inactive filler.

Application Details

The requirements of the spin casting disk largely depend on different model shapes. Casting models with deep undercuts may require blends of ELASTOSIL® R 755/40, softer or higher tear grades alternative with ELASTOSIL® EL AUX HND Batch. Thus it is necessary to prepare the best suitable disk quality for each application. ELASTOSIL® R 755/40 has been developed specifically for a high load of fillers for preparing compounds for spin-casting disks.

Processing

ELASTOSIL® R 755/40 OH is a silicone rubber base for spin casting disks. Usually ELASTOSIL® R 755/40 OH is mixed with 80 – 100 parts ground quartz and 1.5 parts ELASTOSIL® AUX crosslinker C1 (Dicumylperoxide).
