Elasphere B8 is a hybrid made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coated with polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ).
Elasphere B8 stands out due to exceptional elasticity, temperature and chemical resistance. It has extremely good slip properties and considerably increases the haptics of your product.
Thanks to its good dispersibility, Elasphere B8 micro-powder can easily be incorporated into rubber, paints and varnishes.
