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.[1][2]

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.[3][4] It also forms hydrophobic PDMS films which can be used as moisture membrane in photovoltaic cells.[2]

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.
