Momentive Performance MaterialsLIM™ 6050
LIM™ 6050 liquid silicone rubber is a 2-component product formulated for use in liquid injection molding to high performance elastomeric parts. It is clear, but easily pigmentable with Momentive masterbatch colors. The combination of excellent tear strength and very high tensile strength makes this product suitable for a wide variety of applications. Mechanical parts such as connector inserts, seals, flexible mounts, and valve parts can be made readily from LIM6050 liquid silicone rubber.Key Features and Benefits High clarity for excellent visibility Excellent tear strength Convenient 1:1 mix ratio for use with automatic equipment Rapid cure time: 10 to 40 seconds depending upon part size, configuration, and molding temperature Wide range of molding temperatures: 150C (302F) to 205C (400F) Excellent release from metal molds Potential Applications sports goggles and masks health care equipment camera parts coating metal rolls.
