The new coating material is solvent-free, can be pigmented in diverse ways and is easy to process.

What is more, the low coating weights translate into substantial cost savings.
Coating glass fabric tubing with ELASTOSIL@ HT 10. The thin, liquid silicone film is then cured at about 150 ac. Glass and aramid yarns coated with ELASTOSIL@ HT 10 provide high heat resistance, good flexibility and excellent electrical insulation.
