Silicone Rubber Compound: Dimethyl Silicone Oil Gelled with Ferric Oxide, Agens 1948

Dimethyl silicone oil mixed with three-quarters its weight of red ferric oxide and a little aluminium chloride, heated to 130 °C, thins and then sets to a solid mass; milled on warm rubber rolls it becomes a silicone rubber compound ready to mould or extrude (Agens, General Electric, US 2,448,756, 1948). Cured, it stretches over 100 % and stays flexible at −60 °C. The picture: our drawing of the beaker, the mill and the sheet.

Weigh the mix

To 400 g silicone oil add 300 g ferric oxide (75 % of the oil) and 5 g anhydrous aluminium chloride (1.25 %). Stir it smooth. Keep the chloride dry; it fumes in damp air.

Test a piece

Agens's test: press a sheet about 1.3 mm thick between platens at 150 °C for ten minutes, then 15 minutes in an oven at 200 °C. It should stretch over twice its length.

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
