Sylcap 284 is being compared to Sylgard 184 regarding permeability and usability. Sylgard has a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 0.5kg, while Sylcap has a lower MOQ of 100g, making it more accessible for smaller projects. Users are advised to consult manufacturers for specific performance characteristics. Additionally, Sylcap is noted to cure faster than Sylgard, which may influence project timelines. Overall, Sylcap could be a viable alternative depending on the required permeability and project needs.

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.

Sylcap is reported to cure faster than Sylgard l, so that’s a difference.
 
Thread 'How to make Sodium Chlorate by Electrolysis of salt water?'
I have a power supply for electrolysis of salt water brine, variable 3v to 6v up to 30 amps. Cathode is stainless steel, anode is carbon rods. Carbon rod surface area 42" sq. the Stainless steel cathode should be 21" sq. Salt is pure 100% salt dissolved into distilled water. I have been making saturated salt wrong. Today I learn saturated salt is, dissolve pure salt into 150°f water cool to 100°f pour into the 2 gallon brine tank. I find conflicting information about brine tank...
