Wacker Elastosil® R plus 4001/40 Silicone Rubber
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone Rubber
Material Notes:	Product description: HCR silicone rubbers of the ELASTOSIL® R plus 4001 series are addition-curing, one-component compounds for the manufacture of press cured articles. The vulcanizates show excellent transparency and good to very good mechanical properties. No peroxide split products are released during cure or post cure. Cure system is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. Properly postcured vulcanizates of ELASTOSIL® R plus 4001 comply with BfR and FDA food contact regulations. Cure time is reduced to 30 - 50 % depending on the wall thickness. Special features: easy demolding dry surface no unpleasant smell caused by peroxides no inhibition by oxygen Application: The grade is suitable for the manufacture of all kind of articles for technical and food-contact applications. Specially thick walled articles can take advantage of the fast curing material. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG.
