ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205

ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 is a pourable addition curing RTV-2 silicone rubber for coating, lamination and encapsulation purposes. The product vulcanizes at room temperature and under heat to yield a soft elastomer.

 

Cured ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 shows long-term stability against weathering, moisture and UV light. The soft silicone elastomer may continously be exposed to constantly changing climatic conditions, UV radiation and temperatures as high as 160 °C (320 °F) without damage.

Surface preparation:

All surfaces must be clean and free of contaminants that will inhibit the cure of ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205. Examples of inhibiting contaminants are sulfur containing materials, plasticizers, urethanes, amine containing materials and organometallic compounds – especially organotin compounds. If a substrate’s ability to inhibit cure is unknown, a small scale test should be run to determine compatibility.

 

Mixing:

ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 is processed with curing agents of the ELASTOSIL® CAT series. The two components need to be thoroughly mixed at a 10:1 ratio by weight or volume. Mixing can happen either manually or by automatic metering lines equipped with static or dynamic mixing devices.

 

Caution! ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 contains the crosslinker, while the curing agents of the ELASTOSIL® CAT series contain the platinum catalyst. Since even traces of platinum catalyst may cause gelling of ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205, all tools (e.g. spatula, stirrers, mixing cups etc.) used for handling either the curing agents or the catalyzed mix must not come into contact with ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 by mistake.

 

Material application:

To eliminate any air introduced during mixing, dispensing or trapped under components and devices a vacuum encapsulation is useful. Alternatively, ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 and the respective curing agent can be deaerated individually prior use in order to remove absorbed air; applying a vacuum of 25-50 mbar for 10-15 min is recommended.

 

Curing:

Though curing by heat is possible, ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 typically is processed at room temperature. Preferred curing agents are ELASTOSIL® CAT PT (for  a medium curing speed) and ELASTOSIL® CAT PT-F (for fast curing). When a slow curing is required, ELASTOSIL® CAT CPV can be used. Besides, ELASTOSIL® CAT UV allows a UV-activated, very fast curing of ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205.

 

Please note: the curing time is highly dependent on the type of curing agent used, processing temperature and both the size and the heat sink properties of the components being encapsulated. For catalyzed mixtures containing ELASTOSIL® CAT UV as curing agent, the curing speed additonally depends on irradiance and irradiation time. General information about the respective pot life is given in the table "Catalyzed".

 

Furthermore, the reactivity of ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 can be adjusted within wide limits by adding WACKER® Catalyst EP or WACKER® Inhibitor PT 88 to suit the processing requirements of the particular application. WACKER® Catalyst EP increases reactivity, i. e. pot life and curing time are reduced. WACKER® Inhibitor PT 88 is a pot life extender and thus prolongs pot life and curing time.

 

Pigmentation:

ELASTOSIL® SOLAR 2205 is colourless, transparent and crystal clear. If necessary, the product can be pigmented by adding up to 2 wt. % of ELASTOSIL® COLOR PASTE FL.

 

Detailed information about processing and pigmentation is given in our brochure “ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZING (RTV) SILICONES - MATERIAL AND PROCESSING GUIDELINES”. We recommend running preliminary tests to optimize conditions for the particular application.

 

Removal:

If removal of the silicone from machines or dispensing equipment is necessary, white spirit or similar nonpolar solvents are recommended. However, cleaning ideally should take place before the silicone is fully vulcanized. Cured silicone gel can be rubbed off and removed mechanically, if necessary in combination with a swelling agent (solvent).

Lagerung

Store in a dry and cool place.

 

The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label.

 

Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
