PREMIX^® is a historical brand of polymer-bound materials from RDC S.r.l that has been in the marketplace since 1974.

Improved processing and durability performance in architectural sealing using Cancarb’s Thermax^® N990 and ARLANXEO’s Keltan^® EPDM.

Dow’s portfolio of liquid silicone rubber includes specific LSR formulations, marketed under the SILASTIC™, DOWSIL™, XIAMETER™ and EVOLV3D™ brands. Injection-molding grades, coating grades, a 3D printing grade, electrical grades and optical grades are available, as are LSR color masterbatches.

DOWSIL™ Moldable Optical Silicones provide unprecedented design freedom and performance for challenging applications such as automotive, general, professional and consumer lighting and outdoor displays.

For brighter, more energy-efficient, more unique and longer-lasting lighting systems, we highly recommend you take a look at Dow’s innovative, high-performance silicone materials for protection and assembly and secondary optics.

Are you post-curing your silicone out of habit or necessity? Advances in silicone elastomer technology enable some manufacturers to eliminate this costly step for the first time. For example, a new liquid silicone rubber is the only one that exhibits the same physical profile before and after post-curing. This could potentially make post-curing unnecessary even in industries with strict regulatory requirements.

This comparative study between Millathane® XP-9075 and Millathane® 66 Premilled, along with a modified XP-9075 formulation for improved compression set show that Millathane® XP-9075 provides an excellent combination of oil and heat resistance, plus water and humidity resistance.
