Application Details

SILPURAN® 2400 A/B can be used for flexible molding applications in prosthetics.

Processing

  • The components A and B of SILPURAN® 2400 A/B are mixed homogeneously in a ratio of 1 : 1 and vulcanize rapidly at temperatures over 100°C.
  • In a given application the required curing conditions (temperature and time) will also depend on the size and thickness of the part.
  • Detailed instructions for preparation and use are given in the brochure “Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicones - Material and Processing Guidelines”
  • Important note : The platinum catalyst is in component A.
  • Caution : Only A and B components with the same batch number may be processed together
