Description: High consistency rubber, or HCR, consists of high molecular weight polymer combined with silica to produce a material that can be molded, extruded, or calendared into a useful end product. An HCR has the consistency of clay and is primarily formulated in a one or two part system (peroxide and platinum catalysts, respectively). Important Properties of Adhesives: Most platinum cure high consistency rubbers are two component systems with an easy-to-work-with 1:1 mix ratio. Features of platinum cure high consistency rubbers include the following: - Two part (typically)
- Heat accelerated
- No byproducts
- Post cure optional
- Low percent shrinkage
