POWERSIL® 3525 MH

1 of 35 products in this brand
POWERSIL® 3525 MH silicone rubber is a one-component, ready-to-use, addition-curing compound that produces an electrically insulating, highly erosion-resistant silicone elastomer upon curing. Compared to conventional silicone rubber, it shows fast curing, with curing time being reduced by 30 to 50% depending on wall thickness and available machinery and runner system. No peroxide decomposition products are released during the curing process.

Application Details

POWERSIL® 3525 MH is especially designed for T&D applications. Because of its excellent mechanical properties POWERSIL® 3525 MH is prone for use in “cable accessories” applications. Especially thick walled articles can take advantage of the fast curing material.

Processing

POWERSIL® 3525 MH can be easily processed like other standard silicone elastomers. Injection-molding technology is preferred. Caution: the catalyst of the material can be desactivated if amine, sulfur or phosphorus compounds are present.
