RHODORSIL™ MF 160 U SP is a heat curing elastomer (HCR) made at its Saint-Fons plant near Lyon (France).
It will also be available worldwide through the Bluestar Silicones “Mix&Fix Centers™" compounding network in the form of a ready-to-use product (catalysed – processed from the plastic state to the elastic state – and/or coloured).

This product is intended for rubber industry markets throughout the world and is ideal for all processing technologies including injection, moulding, calendering and extrusion to produce tubes, sections and technical parts for domestic appliance and food contact applications.

“This product is one of the best products on the general purpose heat curing elastomer market today” according to Luigi Stoppa, Rubber Industry Global Market Manager. “This type of product provides an outstanding compromise between the mechanical properties (elongation at break and tear strength) and manufacturing processability.
The product also allows us to obtain articles with very good transparency.”

RHODORSIL™ MF 160 U SP is a new product that joins a wide range of Bluestar Silicones HCR products used extensively in the rubber and electrical industries. Bluestar Silicones is one of the European leaders on this type of market.
