For manufacturing enterprises, a good material not only needs to have outstanding performance but also be convenient for construction to improve production efficiency. However, IOTA M20-50W-0 mold-proof special addition-type silicone rubber just has the two major advantages of "easy construction" and "high performance", and also has a built-in mold-proof property, becoming a "reliable partner" in enterprise production.
Its construction convenience is reflected in many aspects. First of all, it adopts a two-component design (Component A and Component B). Component A is transparent and has low viscosity, while Component B has adjustable color and is easy to mix. It can be easily prepared in a weight ratio of Component A:Component B = 2:100 without complex technology or equipment, and ordinary workers can operate it after simple training. Secondly, the mixed material has a moderate viscosity of 60000 mPa·s at 23°C. It will not flow everywhere due to being too thin (resulting in uneven coating thickness) nor be difficult to apply due to being too thick. Whether it is doctor-bladed or dip-coated, it can quickly and evenly cover the substrate surface, greatly shortening the construction time.
In terms of performance, it is by no means inferior. Its core mold-proof ability can effectively inhibit mold growth, ensuring that the produced products are not easy to get moldy during long-term use. It is especially suitable for products related to food contact, hygiene products and humid environments, enhancing product competitiveness. At the same time, it has extremely strong adhesion to the substrate. After coating, it can closely adhere to the substrate, rarely falling off or peeling, reducing the product defect rate.
The various indicators after curing are also very excellent. Its hardness ranges from Shore A 30 to 60, which can provide appropriate supporting force according to the needs of different products. For example, it can meet the requirements of making seals that need to be shaped or protective layers that need a certain degree of elasticity. The tensile strength is ≥4 MPa and the tear strength is ≥10 kN/m, ensuring that the product can withstand external forces during use without easy damage. The elongation rate is ≥200%, endowing the product with good flexibility and avoiding breakage due to slight collision or stretching.
In addition, its storage conditions are relatively lenient. When stored in an unopened bucket at a temperature below 23°C, its shelf life can reach 12 months. Even if it exceeds the shelf life, it can still be used after passing the performance test, reducing material waste.
Whether it is used to produce mold-proof special adhesives, doctor-bladed protective products or dip-coated parts, this silicone rubber can help enterprises improve production efficiency and product quality with its convenient construction process and outstanding performance, becoming an indispensable "great helper" in the production process.
