LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER
Liquid silicone rubbers of the LUMISIL® LR 7600 series are paste-like, two component compounds with short curing times. The vulcanizates are noted for their very high optical transparency and excellent mechanical and electrical properties.
Properties
- The products can be used at temperatures down to -55 °C and even above +150 °C. The outstanding optical transparency extends over a broad range of the visible spectrum and exceeds the transparency of polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate. The refractive index nD25 is in the range of 1.41.
- In contrast to standard ELASTOSIL® LR grades, the hardness in the product name of LUMISIL® LR 7600/80 A/B reflects the hardness of vulcanized articles in the non-post cured state. Depending on the injection molding parameters, the geometry of the final parts and the post curing conditions, hardness increases after post curing in the range of 5 to 12 points.
Application
- These grades are particularly suitable for the economical production of large series of injection molded articles with excellent optical transparency. Parts made from LUMISIL® LR 7600/80 A/B can be used for technical applications. If these articles are also suitable for use in conjunction with foodstuffs is currently under evaluation.
