ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4070/30 MH

1 of 127 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4070/30 MH is a one-component, addition-curing silicone rubber that is specifically designed for the manufacture of molded articles. It exhibits self-bonding properties, eliminating the need for additional adhesive agents. This high consistency silicone rubber is particularly suitable for applications that require vibration damping capabilities.

Application Details

ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070/30 MH is suited for the manufacture of molded technical articles.

Processing

  • ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070 series is particularly suitable for the manufacture of overmolded parts (metal/elastomer or thermoplastic/elastomer composites) for technical purposes.
  • The platinum catalyst can be deactivated by e.g. amines or sulfur compounds.

Properties
  • ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070/30 MH is a self-adhesive grade which adheres to various plastic substrates (e.g. PA, PBT) and metals without tack formation to the mold.
  • The bonding properties can be improved by a post-curing process (e.g. one hour at 100 °C) or by a longer storage at room temperature. Because of the individual surface properties each substrate must be tested before serial production.
  • The vulcanizates are transparent and noted for good mechanical and electrical properties. Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization. At service temperatures above approx. 180 °C the addition of heat stabilizers is recommended.
  • Crosslinking Property: Addition Curing
  • Crosslinking Property: One-component
  • Vulcanizate: Self-adhesive
Note

Cure conditions: 15 min / 165 °C in press, non post-cured for cured properties.
