ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH is a peroxide curing HCR silicone for the manufacture of silicone-insulated safety cables that maintain circuit integrity in case of fire.
Properties
In case of fire ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH forms a ceramic-like layer with high insulation resistance, good mechanical stability and low smoke formation.
The color of the rubber base is beige. Colors will not match the RAL color codes of the masterbatches used in paste or pellet form in the compound (pastel colors).
ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH is also available as 2-component-system (ELASTOSIL® R 512/70-1 & -2). The advantage is that the properties of the compound can be adjusted easily by modifying the mixing ratio of component -1 & -2 for the particular application.

Data sheets
For flame resistant cable constructions (safety cables). Cables made of ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH have successfully passed standards, like NFC 32070 CR1, DIN 4102 part 12, UL 2196, EN 50200, IEC 60331-11, etc.
The raw rubber requires the addition of peroxides for vulcanization at elevated temperatures. A homogeneous incorporation is a must to maintain best processing behavior. Pot life is depending on the used peroxide and storage condition. Please consider the technical data sheet of the corresponding curing agent.
ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH is also available as a 2-component-system (ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH-1 & ELASTOSIL® R 512/70 OH-2). The advantage is that the properties of the compound can be adjusted easily by modifying the mixing ratio of component -1 & -2 for the particular application.
