Compounds based on ELASTOSIL® R 401/60 KX are optimized for extrusion and allow high extrusion speeds. Combined with a high green strength and a smooth surface high quality tubes and profiles can be produced. The resulting extrudates show high transparency. Application: Postcured parts can be used for food contact applications and are suitable for use under the Recommendation "XV. Silicones" of the BfR and FDA § 177.2600 under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
