Silopren® Electro 242-0

Silopren* Electro 242-0 is a two-component liquid silicone rubber with a very high flowability especially developed for the economical production of large articles, like hollow core insulators or cable accessories. Due to its low viscosity Silopren* Electro 242-0 can be used in various casting processes if an appropriate metering and mixing equipment is available.

Key Features and Benefits
Vulcanisates consisting of Silopren* Electro 242-0 are distinguished by the following properties:

• outstanding ageing behaviour and weather resistance

• fast hydrophobicity transfer and hydrophobicity recovery

• rapid vulcanisation

• exellent dielectric behaviour over a wide range of temperatures

• very good tracking and arc resistance

• excellent flowability

• high stability and flexibility at low temperatures

• excellent stability to ozone and ultraviolet light

• not readily combustible, does not melt or drip

• easy pigmentable with LSR Color Pastes

Potential Applications
Because of the outstanding properties Silopren* Electro 242-0 is particularly suitable for the following elastomeric articles: hollow core insulators, high voltage plugs, cable connectors, fittings and terminals, suspension and long rod insulators, post line and pin insulators and surge arresters.
