Applications
Silibase-45S is mainly used for the crosslinking of silicone rubbers.
• Rubber compounds containing Silibase-45S have excellent scorch safety.
• Safe processing temperature: 135°C (rheometer ts2 > 20 minutes).
• Typical crosslinking temperature: 175°C (rheometer t90 about 12 minutes).
Thermal stability
Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances, which may undergo self-accelerating
decomposition. The lowest temperature at which self-accelerating decomposition of a substance
in the original packaging may occur is the Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT).
The SADT is determined on the basis of the Heat Accumulation Storage Test.
For Silibase-45S SADT : 80°C (176°F)
The Heat Accumulation Storage Test is a recognized test method for the determination of the
SADT of organic peroxides.
