Q1: What is the typical cure mechanism for RBL-2004-70?
A: RBL-2004-70 is a platinum-catalyzed addition-cure liquid silicone rubber. It cures rapidly at elevated temperatures via hydrosilylation between vinyl and Si–H functional groups, with minimal by-products and excellent thermal stability.
Q2: Is RBL-2004-70 suitable for medical or food-contact applications?
A: RBL-2004-70 is formulated to meet general biocompatibility expectations for elastomeric silicone materials. End-use compliance with regulatory requirements—including ISO 10993, USP Class VI, or FDA 21 CFR Part 177.2350—must be verified through full system testing and validation under actual processing and service conditions.
Q3: How should RBL-2004-70 be handled to avoid inhibition during processing?
A: Platinum catalysts are sensitive to contamination. Avoid contact with sulfur-, nitrogen-, phosphorus-, or tin-containing compounds—including certain release agents, pigments, adhesives, and ambient volatiles. Use dedicated, clean equipment and maintain strict material segregation practices.
Q4: What viscosity range can be expected, and how does it affect processing?
A: RBL-2004-70 exhibits low-to-medium viscosity in its base and catalyst components, supporting efficient mixing, degassing, and mold filling—especially in precision liquid injection molding (LIM) applications. Viscosity may vary slightly with temperature and shear history, so thermal conditioning before metering is recommended for consistent flow behavior.
Q5: Can RBL-2004-70 be colored or filled without compromising performance?
A: Yes—RBL-2004-70 is compatible with platinum-safe pigments and inert fillers. However, any additive must be rigorously screened for catalytic inhibition or unintended side reactions. Performance attributes such as elongation, tear strength, and cure kinetics may shift depending on loading level and dispersion quality.
