Elkem (Bluestar Silicones) BLUESIL™ V-340 CA-55 Silicone Rubber
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone Rubber
Material Notes:	Description: BLUESIL™ V-340 is a two component, addition reaction, room temperature or heat accelerated cure silicone rubber compound. It is designed as a variable hardness rubber with high strength properties, long library life, excellent detail reproduction, excellent release characteristics, and improved resistance to inhibition. The specific hardness is dependent on which curing agent is used. BLUESIL™ V-340 is an excellent choice for pattern shop, model shop, and Stereolithography service bureau mold making and tooling applications. Applications: Conventional production and prototype molds Finished rubber parts Stereolithography (SLA) molds Casting Architectural moldings Information provided by Bluestar Silicones
