POLASTOSIL® M-60
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
POLASTOSIL® M-60 is condensation curing, two-component silicone elastomers, which after the addition of a catalyst (KATALIZATOR OL-1), cures at room temperature. This rubber is used as protection of electric and electronic systems like small engines and transistor systems against influence of external factors such as: humidity, dust, precipitation, etc.

- Processing
How to prepare pourable sealant.; 1. Weigh out POLASTOSIL® M-2000 and POLASTOSIL® M-60 in clean and dry container with a capacity 5 times greater than the volume of the weighed rubber. There is no need to use containers that comply with specific requirements, for example plastic container may be used.; 2. Weigh out recommended dosage of OL-1 catalyst.; 3. Mix the ingredients. The catalyst must be evenly dissolved in the whole mass as it influences protection quality.; 4.It is recommended to leave such a composition in a vacuum chamber (30-60 mbar) in order to vent it. During this treatment, which should be short (less than 5 minutes), at the beginning the composition foams and increases its volume approx. 5 times and then it returns to the original volume - when this happens, switch off vacuum and remove the container with a ready-to-use composition from the chamber. Fill the system with the composition.

Clean, degrease and dry the system before filling. In order to increase the adhesion of the composition to the surface, the structure should be covered with a silicone primer – PRIMER S-1 and dried in room temperature for about 1 hour. Such a structure should be placed in a casing or a mold and filled with the composition (a mixture of a suitable POLASTOSIL® and OL-1 Catalyst) and then leave the structure open to cross-link and season for about 100 hours in room temperature. Air circulation is very important as during cross-linking ethanol is liberated, which must be released from hardened mass otherwise a reversion effect may occur. In the event of misrun casting, the fragments of rubber (pourable sealant) might be cut out and filled again. Also in the event of damaged electronic elements covered with rubber, it is possible to cut out surrounding sealant and replace the element and filled with a rubber composition of the same type.
