ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4846/30 MH

1 of 127 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4846/30 MH is a high-temperature vulcanizing (HTV) silicone rubber grade. It is a one-component compound that undergoes platinum-curing and is utilized in the production of molded articles. The vulcanizates generated from this compound develop a thin oil film with lubricating properties soon after the curing process. Since the crosslinking system relies on platinum cure, there are no peroxide decomposition products formed during the curing process.

Properties
  • ELASTOSIL® R plus 4806/30 MH is a fast curing silicone rubber exhibiting excellent cut resistance. Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization.
  • The addition of heat stabilizers at service temperatures of more than 180 °C is recommended.
Note

Cure conditions: 15 min,165 °C in press, post-cured 4 h / 200 °C for cured properties.
