Dow Corning: SILASTIC® LS-2840 FLUOROSILICONE RUBBER BASE FROM DOW CORNING ENGINEERED FOR MULTI-FACETED TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
Silastic® LS-2840, a 40 durometer, uncatalyzed fluorosilicone rubber base from Dow Corning, out performed fluorocarbon rubber in a recent independent study conducted by at Rapra Technology. Silastic LS-2840 is engineered for automotive electrical protection, fluid delivery and static sealing applications such as seals, gaskets and hoses. Silastic LS-2840 retains its properties over a wide temperature range, is resistant to solvents, and can be molded, extruded and calendared and is easily pigmented to meet design requirements. It also can be blended with other durometer fluorosilicone rubbers to produce materials with intermediate durometers and proprieties.
