About this item
Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer base and curing agent is supplied as a two part kit comprised of liquid components. When the base and the curing agent are thoroughly mixed in a 10:1 weight ration, the medium-viscosity liquid mixture has a consistency resembling SAE No. 40 motor oil. The liquid mixture will cure in thick or thin sections to a flexible, transparent elastomer ideally suited for electical/electronic potting and encapsulating applications.
Coat patch clamp electrodes
Make cell culture dishes and dissecting pads
Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer offers a flexible cure schedule from 25 to 150 °C (77 to 302 °F), without an exotherm. Sylgard 194 silicone elastomer requires no post cure and can be placed in service immediately following the completion of the cure schedule at an operating temperature from -55° to 200 °C. (-67 to 392°F). Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer is especially useful for applications where clarity is desirable.
Curing Time: 24 hours at 25ºC, 15 min. at 150ºC
Tensile Strength: 900 psi
Hardness: 40 Shore A
Tool: Electronic scale
Mixing Tip: Weighing dish and stirring rod
That means after curing time (24hrs@25 °C; or 15 min @ 150 °C), the mixed adhesive will reach its highest hardness and tensile strength. The professional boxers will generate punches around 800–1500 psi. It indicates how tough the cured adhesive can be. In electrophysiological application (such as seal the glass tips around tissues/cells), such ultimate conditions are not concerned. As far as keeping high volume resistivity (electronically as insulator between the gap of glass electrode and tissues/cells), job will be well done.
