SYLGARD™ 184 Silicone Elastomer Kit (PDMS)
Material & Composition
SYLGARD™ 184 is a two-part silicone elastomer system composed of a liquid base and curing agent. When mixed at a 10:1 ratio by weight and cured, it forms a flexible, durable, and optically clear PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) material.
- Type: Platinum-cured PDMS silicone elastomer
- Components: Part A (Base) + Part B (Curing Agent)
- Mixing Ratio: 10:1 by weight (Base:Curing Agent)
- Curing Options:
- Room temperature: 48+ hours
- Heat cure (e.g., 60–80°C): ~1–2 hours
- Color: Transparent, clear when cured
Key Features
SYLGARD™ 184 is trusted in research and manufacturing due to its optical clarity, biocompatibility, and stable mechanical properties. It adheres well to a range of surfaces and offers consistent performance in sensitive applications.
- Optical-grade transparency (ideal for imaging and optics)
- Excellent flexibility and elasticity
- Low shrinkage upon curing
- Biocompatible for non-implantable biomedical use
- High dielectric strength and chemical resistance
- Easily bonds to glass, silicon, and plastics (with surface treatment if needed)
Applications
SYLGARD™ 184 is widely used across research, engineering, and industrial sectors where precision and cleanliness are required.
- Microfluidic device fabrication
- Soft lithography molds and stamps
- Biomedical device prototyping
- Lens and sensor encapsulation
- Sealing and potting in electronics
