Elkem (Bluestar Silicones) BLUESIL™ CATA 3020 HT Silicone Rubber
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone Rubber
Material Notes:	Description: BLUESIL™ RTV 3040 is a clear, high strength, addition cure silicone rubber compound. It is formulated to be used with multiple catalysts to cure overnight at room temperature or within hours at elevated temperature to give a variety of hardness. Its low viscosity makes the product easy to pour and quick to degas. BLUESIL™ RTV 3040 is designed to serve the needs of the prototype by reproducing intricate details and maintaining tight tolerances. In addition, BLUESIL™ RTV 3040 has been formulated to provide improved urethane resin resistance. BLUESIL™ RTV 3040 system is compliant to 21CFR177.2600 ~ Repeated food contact applications.
