Dow DOWSIL FB-9586 Silicone Elastomer Blend – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL FB-9586 in silicone elastomer formulations?

A: DOWSIL FB-9586 is a pre-dispersed silicone elastomer blend designed to enhance surface smoothness, reduce friction, and improve release performance in high-consistency rubber (HCR) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) systems. It functions as a processing aid and surface modifier without significantly compromising mechanical integrity.


Q2: Is DOWSIL FB-9586 compatible with platinum-cured LSR systems?

A: Yes, DOWSIL FB-9586 is formulated for compatibility with platinum-catalyzed LSR systems. It does not contain known inhibitors that interfere with hydrosilylation cure chemistry when used at recommended dosage levels and under standard processing conditions.


Q3: How should DOWSIL FB-9586 be incorporated into silicone elastomer compounds?

A: It is typically added during the final mixing stage—after base polymer, filler, and crosslinker have been homogenized—to ensure uniform dispersion. Mechanical shear mixing (e.g., two-roll mill or internal mixer) is recommended; extended mixing times beyond standard practice are not required.


Q4: Does DOWSIL FB-9586 affect the thermal stability or compression set of cured elastomers?

A: When used within typical dosage ranges, DOWSIL FB-9586 maintains good thermal stability and does not adversely impact compression set performance. Its silicone-based composition remains inert under standard vulcanization conditions and contributes to consistent long-term sealing behavior.
