Platinum Vulcanizing Agent G50A / G25B

Two-part addition-cure system for extruded silicone rubber: tubing, cord, profiles and wire coating — including food-contact products.

Key Features

  • No peroxide by-products — odor-free parts, no post-cure baking
  • No white spots, no bubbles in the cured profile
  • High clarity and anti-yellowing performance
  • Non-sticky to steel belts — formulated for continuous extrusion lines
  • 4-hour pot life at room temperature after A/B incorporation
  • Non-toxic, low-odor — suited to medical and food-contact extrusions

Recommended Dosage

Dosage by compound type and hardness — confirm against the TDS for your application.

Compound / HardnessPart A (G50A)Part B (G25B)Notes
Fumed silica gum, 60–80 Shore A0.25–0.3%0.8–1%—
Precipitated silica gum0.3–0.5%0.5–0.8%—
Fumed silica gum, 30–50 Shore A0.35–0.5%0.5–0.8%Add Part B first, let stand 3–24 h, then add Part A for best results
Dosage is calculated on total compound weight. Dark-colored compounds may require a higher Part A dosage — contact us for guidance. Standard packs are Part A 1 kg + Part B 5 kg; one set treats several hundred kilograms of compound — tell us your formulation and target volume and we will confirm the exact quantities for your trial.

Processing

  1. Mix the base compound

    Compound raw gum and silica until the surface is smooth and uniform.

  2. Add Part B first (G25B)

    Mix until homogeneous. Do not reverse the addition order — adding Part A first can cause scorch.

  3. Then add Part A (G50A)

    Mix until homogeneous, then sheet out 2–3 times before feeding the extruder.

  4. Extrude and cure

    Hot-air tunnel at 220–350 °C — adjust temperature to your oven length and line speed.

⚠ Catalyst poisoning — read before use Platinum catalysts are deactivated by sulfur, amines, phosphorus and tin compounds. Do not share equipment, lines or storage with peroxide-cure compounds or raw rubber. Do not add the agent while mixer temperature exceeds 45 °C. See the Technical Guide for the full list.
