Application details

These grades are particularly suitable for the economical production of large series of injection-moulded articles. Although most silicone rubbers show good resistance to boiling water,they degrade rapidly when subjected to superheated steam at temperatures of 150°C and above(corresponding to 6 bar pressure).ELASTOSIL LR 3020/60 A/B shows significantly improved performance under such conditions,especically with respect to the long term compression set. Parts made from ELASTOSILLR 3020/60 A/B can be used for technical applications. These articles are also suitable for use in conjunction with foodstuffs.Postcured parts can be used for food contact applicatuins and are suitable for use under the Recommendation"XV.Silicones"of the BfR and FDA § 177.2600 under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances.
