PLATINUM CURED SILICONE COMPOUNDS
M/s Garg Cables & Silicones Pvt. Ltd.
The fast curing mechanism of the platinum catalyst allows for thicker section parts to be cured more quickly at the same molding temperatures as traditional peroxide systems. Additionally, thicker section parts can be cured at lower temperatures with this method. Unlike peroxide-cured systems, platinum cure systems produce no peroxide residues, making them ideal for use in food and medical applications. This curing process results in materials with excellent hot tear strength, facilitating the demolding of parts with complex geometries and undercuts. However, platinum-cured materials are more sensitive to catalyst poisons than peroxide-cured ones. To address this, we offer a three-component system and formulation guide designed to extend the shelf life of the mixed compound, ensuring optimal performance and usability.
