- Application Details
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL GREY RAL 7012 has been developed particularly for coloring addition-curing ELASTOSIL® LR liquid silicone rubber and ELASTOSIL® RT RTV-2 silicone rubber.
- ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL GREY RAL 7012 may be used for coloring silicone parts intended for sensitive applications and complying with the “Recommendation XV. Silicones" and “IX. Pigments for coloring plastics" of the BfR under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
- Pigments for coloring plastics" of the BfR and FDA Regulation CFR 21 § 177.2600 "Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use" under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
- For sensitive applications requiring broader approvals, ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL BASALT GREY RAL 7012 F may be an appropriate alternative.
Processing
Before using ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTES FL, the paste must be thoroughly stirred. This is also required if there has been a long interruption in production. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure in case of very long production runs. Depending on the color intensity desired, 0.5 to 4.0 % pigment paste should be added, the usual dosage being 2%. Generally, the dosage should be kept at a minimum. In individual cases, an excess of color paste may slow down the curing characteristics. Customers may produce other colors by mixing pigment pastes. Suggestions for formulations can be provided on request.
