Rubber. Ideally suited to aerospace applications. Features and Benefits: Fluoroelastomer rubber with excellent resistance to high temperatures and pressure as well as inherent resistance to prepreg volatile gasses. Excellent physical properties and no need for a lengthy oven post-cure cycle. Can be co-cured with certain silicone rubber compositions to produce a perimeter seal are compatible with standard sealant tape. Can be laminated to silicone rubber sheet to improve resistance to autoclave atmosphere permeation through the silicone sheet. Maximum use temperature 260°C (500°F). Tensile trength 2684 psi. Elongation at break 268%.

Rubber. Ideally suited to aerospace applications. Features and Benefits: Uncured silicone compound, supplied in roll form. Can be used to bond cured and uncured silicone sheet to itself or to prepared metal surfaces. Requires the application of heat (150°C/302°F for 30 minutes) and slight contact pressure, in order to obtain the optimum in cure and bond strength. Must be cured in an oxygen free environment. Care should be taken to protect surfaces not intended to be bonded by using a release film. The use of our ETFE film A6000BNP20 is recommended in such cases. After vulcanization of 14206, no further protection is necessary. Excellent primers for 14206 are Thixon 305 or Dow Corning 2260. A primer is not necessary for bonding cured silicone to itself, or when using the uncured 14206 to repair damage to vacuum bags.

High strength silicone rubber. Features and Benefits: High strength silicone compound developed for use as a vacuum membrane in composite fabrication applications, where high strength and resistance to high temperatures, pressures and aggressive volatile attack is required over long periods. Available in cured or uncured roll form. Solvay is able to fabricate very wide membranes, utilizing either butt joints or seamless joint technology. Excellent resistance to compression set and has been used to manufacture shaped, inflatable pressure bags for applications requiring critical dimensional stability. Maximum use temperature 232°C (450°F). Tensile strength 1300psi. Elongation at break 600%.
