Polydimethylsiloxane pdms prepolymer sylgard 184

Manufactured by Dow
Sourced in United States

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prepolymer, also known as Sylgard 184, is a two-part liquid silicone elastomer. It is a viscous, transparent polymer that can be cured to form a flexible, durable, and transparent elastomeric material. The prepolymer is designed to be mixed with a curing agent to create a silicone-based material that can be used in various laboratory and industrial applications.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
