Dow Corning Sylgard 184 Silicone Elastomer: Transparent encapsulant with good flame resistance. Sylgard™ 184 Silicone Elastomer is suitable for: LED Lighting encapsulation, Power supplies, Connectors, Sensors, Industrial controls, Transformers, Amplifiers, High voltage resistor packs, Relays, Adhesive/encapsulant for solar cells, Adhesive handling beam lead integrated circuits during processing.
Sylgard 184 is a silicone elastomer kit. The kit contains two chemicals: Base (part A) and Curing Agent (part B), that are mixed in 10:1 mass ratio. Both the chemicals are transparent, but quite viscous in nature. Please don't use pipettes to draw the chemicals as they are pretty thick. Also, wear gloves when handling these chemicals.
The Base (part A) contains the followings:
VOC content: 8 grams/liter
The Curing Agent (part B) contains the followings:
Maximum VOC content including water: 85 grams/liter
Spin Casting of Sylgard 184
Sylgard 184 can also be spin cast to produce PDMS. Although it has not been studied extensively, a couple of papers describe the spin casting of Sylgard 184. Normally, the base (part A) and the curing agent (part B) are mixed in 10:1 mass ratio as recommended by the manufacturer, and then dissolved in a n-alkane like n-hexane or n-heptane before spin casting.
