POWERSIL® 600 A/B

1 of 35 products in this brand
POWERSIL® 600 A/B is a pourable, addition-curing, two-component silicone rubber that cures at room temperature. It is specifically designed for casting applications and forms soft products with high mechanical strength. This ready-to-use, two-component system is very easy to process thanks to its low viscosity. It offers excellent dielectric properties and is best suited for outdoor applications due to its UV and weathering resistance, as well as its excellent hydrophobic properties.

Processing
  • Components A and B are delivered ready to use in drums of 20 and 200 liters capacity. They can be pumped by means of standard metering equipment from these drums and mixing in a static mixer straight into the mold.
  • The mixing ratio is 9 : 1. The extreme low viscosity and resulting high volumetric flow rate ensure consistent, void-free production at room temperature. Curing at room temperature results in very little inner mold pressure.
  • Therefore POWERSIL® 600 A/B is suitable for the production of products with complex installation parts. At room temperature, mixtures of A and B components have a pot life of at least 70 minutes.
  • POWERSIL® 600 A/B is also recommended for prototyping of products since no expensive machinery is needed for its processing.
