Best Practices for Dow Silastic LS-2323 Fluorosilicone Rubber
-
Surface Preparation
Bonding: XIAMETER™ RBM-9400 Primer should be used when bonding unvulcanized SILASTIC LS-2323 Fluorosilicone Rubber and fluorosilicone rubber type compounds to metals.
-
Application
HOW TO USE: Compounding: Pigmentable to most any color shade desired. Suitable for compounding with fillers to produce high-modulus, pressure-resistant compounds and molded goods, such as high performance O-rings.
Fabricating: SILASTIC LS-2323 Fluorosilicone Rubber is primarily used for molding applications using compression, transfer, or injection molding methods.
Blending: SILASTIC LS-2323 Fluorosilicone Rubber and high-modulus fluorosilicone rubber type compounds can be blended with conventional silicone rubber to provide intermediate fluid resistance at intermediate costs.
-
Testing
SILASTIC LS-2323 Fluorosilicone Rubber is routinely tested for physica properties using 1.0 phr 2,5-Bis(tertbutylperoxy)-2,5-dimethylhexane, 45% masterbatch vulcanizing agent
