General description
SYLGARD^®184 is a silicone based elastomeric kit that is a two component system with a polymeric base and a curing agent which cross-links with the polymeric matrix. The resulting composite formed is a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with tensile strength (UTS) of ~5.2 MPa and shore hardness of ~44 at room temperature. The UTS, hardness and the young′s modulus (E) increase at a higher curing temperature.

Application
SYLGARD^®184 based PDMS can be used in soft-lithography for a variety of applications such as microfluidics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other flexible electronic devices. It also forms hydrophobic PDMS films which can be used as moisture membrane in photovoltaic cells.

Packaging
Preweighed monomer and curing agent in convenient blister packs. This is two parts packed in a clear pouch with separated compartments, not premixed.
SYLGARD^® 184 Silicone Elastomer Kit is comprised of Base/Curing Agent to be mixed in a 10 (base) :1 (curing agent) ratio by weight for manual mixing.
