I just need a permeable PDMS material. Sylgard comes in MOQ 0.5kg, while Sylcap is MOQ 100g which is better, I just need to know if it will work the same.
Is Sylcap 284 as permeable as Sylgard 184?

SUMMARY
Sylcap 284 is a permeable PDMS material that offers a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 100g, making it more accessible than Sylgard 184, which has an MOQ of 0.5kg. Users have noted that Sylcap 284 cures faster than Sylgard 184, indicating a potential advantage in application speed. For those requiring permeable PDMS, Sylcap 284 is a viable alternative, but confirmation from manufacturers is recommended to ensure compatibility in specific applications.
