Curalyst™ is a branded platinum catalyst platform intended to enable selected silicone elastomer grades to cure effectively at reduced processing temperatures. The platform is positioned around three connected value areas: lower thermal demand, process-efficiency opportunities, and consistent quality and performance. This paper defines the technical value framework and the validation data required to substantiate product-specific claims. No quantitative performance claims are made without grade-, equipment-, geometry-, and application-specific evidence.
Curalyst™ is Momentive’s low-temperature cure technology platform, designed to help manufacturers unlock greater processing efficiency, support sustainability objectives, and deliver consistent elastomer performance. Integrated into selected silicone elastomer grades, Curalyst™ enables customers to access the benefits of advanced platinum-cure technology while continuing to leverage the products and formulations they already know and trust.
