Curing Time

Curing Time: 24 hours at 25ºC, 15 min. at 150ºC

Details

A two-part Polydimethylsiloxane elastomerr, ideal for potting and encapsulating applications. Very low dielectric constant sealing compound used in patch clamping and many other lab applications. After cure, will with­stand -55° to 200 °C.

Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer base and curing agent is supplied as a two part kit comprised of liquid components. When the base and the curing agent are thoroughly mixed in a 10:1 weight ratio, the medium-viscosity liquid mixture has a consistency resembling SAE No. 40 motor oil. The liquid mixture will cure in thick or thin sections to a flexible, transparent elastomer ideally suited for electical/electronic potting and encapsulating applications.

Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer offers a flexible cure schedule from 25-150°C, without an exotherm. Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer requires no post cure and can be placed in service immediately following the completion of the cure schedule at an operating temperature from -55° to 200 °C. 

Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer is especially useful for applications where clarity is desirable. For more information, please refer to the manual.
