The Advanced Dow Corning MS-2002 Moldable Reflector Silicone

The advanced Dow Corning MS-2002 reflective silicone material enables the effective design of light reflectors.
The flexible Dow Corning MS-2002 is a reflective silicone material that allows for a more creative and effective design of light reflectors. This material provides an increased output of light which in turn improves energy efficiency. This advanced product remains stable at high temperatures and has the ability to endure extensive exposure to heat and UV rays with very minimal color change. Dow Corning MS-2002 offers outstanding feature replication and mold detail while retaining an extended product life. This material is an optical solution where age resistance and high reflectance are requirements.
Dow Corning MS-2002 Reflector Silicone is a 2-part material with a 1:1 mix ratio. The tensile resulted at 1,250 Psi, and the elongation at 65%. Hardness results were 84 at Shore Aꟷ, and 28 at Shore Dꟷ. The thermal conductivity of Dow Corning MS-2002 Reflector Silicone is 0.46 watt/M°K, and the dielectric strength is 525 Volts/mil. The material scorch time resulted in 10 seconds at 150°C, and the dielectric constant is 3.77 at 100Hz. If additional data is required, please contact a certified Krayden Technical Representative, or see the Dow Corning MS-2002 TDS.
Dow Corning MS-2002 Moldable White Reflector Silicone is fit for lighting applications. This innovative product is made up of two heat-cure silicone resins that allow for micrometer-sized features to be replicated on the lens surface to direct light output. Silicone encapsulants and resins are ordinarily functional for extended periods of time over a temperature range of -45 to 150°C. As the temperature increases, the length of time that this material will remain useable will decrease. This product is compatible with commercially accessible equipment, and can be pumped, meter mixed, or molded in a way similar to Liquid Silicone Rubber. Lot matching for this material is not required, as the proportioning process is simple due to the 1:1 mix ratio by weight or volume.

Following specified storage conditions and tightly sealing containers provided with Dow Corning MS-2002 will extend the shelf life of the product. The mixing process for Parts A and B of this material must be thorough, as insufficient mixing can result in an incomplete cure or may reduce physical properties. Organometallic compounds, Silicone rubber containing an organotin catalyst, Sulfur, polysulfides, polysulfones or other sulfur containing materials, unsaturated hydrocarbon plasticizers, and some solder flux residues are most likely to hinder the cure of addition cure molding material. Dow Corning MS-2002 is not tested or represented as fit for medical or pharmaceutical uses.
