ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US

ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US HCR silicone rubbers are addition-curing, two part compounds (batch grades). The vulcanizates show excellent transparancy and good to very good mechanical properties. Properly postcured vulcanizates of ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US comply with BfR and FDA food contact regulations. The material also passes USP XXIII Class VI.

ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US is intended for fabrication of extruded articles that afford high transparency and very good tear resistance values.


ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US may not be cured with peroxides, only with the catalyst batch ELASTOSIL® AUX PT1.

 

ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US and Curing Agent PT 1 are mixed homogeneously on a roll mill in a ratio of 100 : 1.5. Care must be taken to keep the mill and compound as cool as possible during mixing.

 

The temperature of the rubber should not exceed 35°C or risk partial curing and reduced pot life.

 

Crosslinking begins when Curing Agent PT 1 has been added. The rate and degree of crosslinking depends on the storage time and temperature.

 

At 23°C, the mixture has a pot life of about 24 hours. This can be extended by storing the catalyzed mixture at a lower temperature.

Storage

The "Best use before end date" of each batch is shown on the Certificate of Analysis. Storage beyond the date specified on the Certificate of Analysis does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons. ELASTOSIL® R plus 4305/70 US should be stored at less than 25°C in the originally sealed container.
