ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4020/40 MH
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4020/40 MH is a one-component, high consistency silicone rubber designed for the manufacture of molded articles. When cured, these articles display high transparency and boast exceptional tear resistance. This fast-curing silicone rubber exhibits excellent tear resistance. Thanks to the addition cure process, the vulcanization reaction occurs significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. Importantly, no peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization.
