Dow DOWSIL Q3-3559 Plus EU Semiflowable Acetoxy Silicone Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL Q3-3559 Plus EU in silicone elastomer formulations?

A: It serves as a semiflowable acetoxy-functional silicone elastomer designed to enhance elasticity, improve green strength during processing, and support controlled crosslinking in room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) systems—particularly where improved sag resistance and moderate flow are required.


Q2: Is DOWSIL Q3-3559 Plus EU suitable for food-contact or medical-grade applications?

A: This grade is formulated for compliance with relevant EU regulatory expectations for indirect food contact when used in accordance with intended conditions and final formulation requirements; however, end-use suitability must be verified by the formulator through full system testing and regulatory assessment.


Q3: How does the “semiflowable” nature of this product affect processing behavior?

A: Its semiflowable consistency enables easier incorporation into high-viscosity silicone bases compared to solid elastomers, while still providing structural integrity to uncured compounds—supporting applications such as extrusion, dispensing, and mold filling without excessive slump or phase separation.


Q4: Can DOWSIL Q3-3559 Plus EU be used in combination with other silicone polymers or fillers?

A: Yes—it is compatible with common silicone fluids, gums, and reinforcing fillers (e.g., fumed silica), and is typically used at low concentrations to modify rheology and mechanical performance without compromising cure kinetics in acetoxy-cure systems.
