Two-component silicone rubber usually consists of two parts: base silicone rubber and curing agent. Silicone rubber is an elastic material often used to make molds, seals, complex-shaped parts, etc. The amount of curing agent added has an important impact on the performance and curing speed of silicone rubber.
The curing ratio of silicone rubber is usually expressed in weight or volume ratio. The specific ratio will vary depending on the type, brand and product specification of silicone rubber. Generally speaking, the ratio of silicone rubber is between 10:1 and 1:1, which means that within the ratio of curing agent to silicone rubber base, it can be adjusted as needed.
For example, a 10:1 curing ratio means that in the silicone rubber base, there is 1 part of curing agent for every 10 parts of base silicone rubber. And a 1:1 ratio means equal amounts of silicone rubber base and curing agent.
When using two-component silicone rubber, be sure to mix the two parts in the exact ratios specified by the manufacturer to ensure optimal cure and performance. Different silicone rubber products may have different operating requirements, so it is best to read the product instructions carefully before use or consult the manufacturer for accurate proportion information.
