ELASTOSIL® P 7684/60 A/B and RTV-4110 are closely matched soft silicones, at 12 Shore A and 10±1 Shore A respectively. RTV-4110 is slightly softer, while both provide high flexibility for soft molds and flexible components.
Both use a simple 1:1 mix ratio. P 7684/60 provides approximately 60 minutes of pot life at 23°C, compared with about 35 minutes for RTV-4110, giving P 7684/60 more time for mixing, degassing and controlled pouring.
Viscosity is also different. P 7684/60 publishes approximately 2,000 mPa·s Part A and 3,000 mPa·s Part B, while RTV-4110 publishes about 4,000 and 2,800 mPa·s respectively. P 7684/60 therefore has the lower Part A viscosity, while both remain pourable low-viscosity systems.
Mechanical performance favors RTV-4110 for strength. P 7684/60 publishes approximately 3 MPa tensile strength, 13 N/mm tear strength and 600% elongation, compared with 4.0±0.5 MPa, 25±0.5 N/mm and 510±50% for RTV-4110. P 7684/60 offers greater elongation, while RTV-4110 provides higher tensile and tear strength.
Application positioning is the main practical distinction. WACKER positions P 7684/60 for prosthetic liners, orthotics and skin-contact flexible applications, while RTV-4110 is more broadly suited to soft mold making and flexible reproductions. The choice therefore depends on whether processing flexibility and prosthetic positioning or mold durability and tear resistance are more important.
