Silopren Electro 242-1 TP 3717 is a two-component liquid silicone rubber for injection molding processes. This silicone rubber is particularly developed for the manufacturing of housing and weather sheds for all kinds of insulators.

Key Features and Benefits
Vulcanisates consisting of Silopren Electro 242-1 TP 3717 are distinguished by the following properties:

• outstanding ageing behaviour and weather resistance

• fast hydrophobicity transfer and hydrophobicity recovery

• rapid vulcanisation

• excellent dielectric behaviour over a wide range of temperatures

• very good tracking and arc resistance

• very good flowability

• high stability and flexibility at low temperatures

• excellent stability to ozone and ultraviolet light

• not readily combustible, does not melt or drip

• easy pigmentable with LSR Colour Pastes

Potential Applications
Because of the outstanding properties Silopren Electro 242-1 TP 3717 is particularly suitable for the following elastomeric articles: suspension and long rod insulators, post line and pin insulators, surge arresters, hollow core insulators, high voltage plugs, cable connectors, fittings and terminals s.o.
