In summary, the study compares the permeability of Sylcap 284 and Sylgard 184, revealing that Sylcap 284 exhibits similar permeation characteristics to Sylgard 184. Both materials demonstrate comparable performance in terms of gas and liquid permeability, making Sylcap 284 a viable alternative in applications where Sylgard 184 is traditionally used.

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.
