Data sheets
This compound can be used in the manufacture of molded parts, but also particularly extrusion, for producing profiles, e. g. for windows and facades.
Provided appropriate processing, articles produced from ELASTOSIL® R 861/60 S can be used for food contact applications in accordance with the Recommendation "XV. Silicones" of the BfR and FDA 21 CFR § 177.2600 under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances. Furthermore, the product contains low levels of residual toluene which has to be completely removed from the final food contact article.
The raw rubber requires the addition of peroxides for vulcanization at elevated temperatures. A homogeneous incorporation is a must to maintain best processing behavior. Pot life is depending on the used peroxide and storage condition. Please consider the technical data sheet of the corresponding curing agent.
