Processing

  • The raw rubber requires the addition of peroxides for vulcanization at elevated temperatures.
  • A homogeneous incorporation is a must, but please avoid temperatures >30°C along the incorporation process in order to maintain best processing behavior.
  • Pot life is depending on the used peroxide and storage condition.
  • IMPORTANT: in order to produce a ready-to-use-compound, an increased concentration of peroxide is needed.
  • Silicone Elastomers B can be crosslinked with 3.0 % crosslinker C1 or crosslinker C6. Crosslinker E is not suitable!
