ELASTOSIL® LR 3833/50 A/B
Oil-bleeding liquid silicone rubbers of the ELASTOSIL® LR 3833 series are paste-like, readily pigmentable two-component products with short curing times. Shortly after the curing process, a thin oil film with lubricating properties forms on the surface of the vulcanizates. The vulcanizates are white, have good mechanical properties, excellent heat resistance and ultra low compression set.
Properties
The ultra-low compression set of this ready-to-use material is achieved by the optimized content of a heat stabilizer. Thus, applications within a temperature range of -55 to +200 °C are possible.
Specific features of ELASTOSIL® LR 3833/50 A/B

Storage
Once opened, containers should always be resealed after use to prevent the platinum catalyst from being poisoned by amines, sulphur or phosphorus compounds. 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.
