More About LIM™ 8040 Self-bonding, Liquid Silicone Rubber

LIM 8040 is a fast-curing, high tear strength liquid silicone rubber designed for primerless adhesion to a variety of thermoplastic and metal substrates and is an excellent candidate to consider for insert and over-molding applications. A nickel Teflon^† coating should be applied to the mold to help with part release from the tool.

Key Features and Typical Benefits:

Biocompatibility (USP Class VI, ISO 10993)
Primerless adhesion to nylon and co-polyesters, polybutylene terephthalates (PBT) stainless steel and aluminum
Adhesion to polysulfone after plasma activation of the substrate
High thermal stability
Easily pigmentable with LSR color pastes
