Dow has published a technical article in the June 2024 edition of Rubber World magazine about a novel liquid silicone rubber (LSR) that is compatible with the fire-rated (FR) plastics used in automotive electrical connector housings. Unlike conventional LSRs, Dow SILASTIC™ 9212-50 won’t degrade prematurely from direct contact with FR plastics. This LSR formulation also retains its mechanical properties, flexibility, and dimensions in connector seals.
Check out this recent technical article published in Rubber World’s April 2020 Issue. It provides a strong overview of the collaborative “Elastomer Sealing Performance in Hydrogen Fuel Cells” study conducted by RDAbbott, ARLANXEO, and Cancarb.
