Further Evidence and Mechanisms for Improvement in Tracking and Erosion Resistance of ATH-Free Silicone Rubbers by Direct Fluorination

Effect and mechanism of polysilazane and platinum on tracking and erosion resistance of silicone rubber

“…For example, it has been reported that aer incorporating melamine cyanurate with 15 part per hundred parts of rubber (phr) and silica, silicone rubber passed the inclined plane test (IPT) at 4.5 kV. 18,19 However, melamine cyanurate showed poor compatibility with silicone rubber, which led to its poor mechanical properties. Urea-containing silane can efficiently improve the tracking and erosion resistance of addition-cure liquid silicone rubber, along with good compatibility with silicone chains.…”
