Application Details

ELASTOSIL® R 865/40 S is especially designed for peroxide curing applications as:

  • Extrusion
  • Calendering
  • Molding

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

We recommend to use following amount of peroxide:

  • ELASTOSIL® AUX Crosslinker E: 1.5 % 50% paste of bis-(2,4-dichorobenzoyl)-peroxide in silicone fluid.
  • ELASTOSIL® AUX Crosslinker C6: 0.5 % 45% paste of 2,5-bis-(t-butylperoxy)-2,5-dimethyl-hexane in silicone rubber.
  • ELASTOSIL® AUX Crosslinker C1: 0.3 % (Dicumyl peroxide 98%).
