ELASTOSIL® RT 728 A/B

1 of 36 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® RT 728 A/B is a two-part paste-like silicone rubber that can be thermally cured. When vulcanized, it exhibits excellent resistance to coolants and has a low compression set. This product is commonly used in applications such as bonding and sealing, as well as in the production of cured-in-place gaskets (dry type). Its notable properties include strong adhesion on synthetic materials that are resistant to antifreeze-water mixtures, as well as a low compression set.
