- Application Details
- ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/60 MH is suited for the manufacture of molded articles.
- Properly cured and post-cured vulcanizates of ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/60 MH can be used for food contact applications and are suitable for use under the Recommendation "XV. Silicones" of the BfR and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 "Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use" considering any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
Processing
- ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060 series is particularly suited for press-curing or processing on a silicone rubber injection molding machine.
- The platinum catalyst can be deactivated by e.g. amines or sulfur compounds.
Properties
- Cured Properties
- Properties
- ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/60 MH is a fast curing silicone rubber exhibiting excellent tear resistance. Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization.
- ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/60 MH exhibits lower compression set, better heat stability and superior elasticity in comparison with other platinum curing grades (e.g. ELASTOSIL® R plus 4001). At service temperatures above approx. 180 °C the addition of heat stabilizers is recommended.
- Note
Cure conditions: 15 min / 165 °C in press, post-cured 4 h / 200 °C for cured properties.
