- Properties
ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/50 MH is a fast curing silicone rubber exhibiting excellent tear resistance. Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization.. ELASTOSIL® R plus 4060/50 MH exhibits lower compression set, better heat stability and superior elasticity in comparison with other platinum curing grades (e.g. ELASTOSIL® R plus 4001). At service temperatures above approx. 180 °C the addition of heat stabilizers is recommended.
