• Non-flowing

• Room temperature cure

• High tensile/tear strength and elongation

• MIL-A-46146 Group II, TY I

•  No mixing required

•  Room temperature cure, no ovens required

• Faster in-line processing with optional heat acceleration

• Can be considered for uses with Mil Spec requirements

• The silicone adhesive discussed in this literature is intended only to survive splash or intermittent exposures. It is not suited for continuous solvent or fuel exposure. Testing should be done to confirm performance of the adhesives under these conditions. 

• Due to the wide variety of substrate types and differences in substrate surface conditions, general statements on adhesion and bond strength are impossible. To ensure maximum bond strength on a particular substrate, cohesive failure of the product in a lap shear or similar test is needed to ensure compatibility of the adhesive with the substrate being considered. Also, this test can be used to determine minimum cure time or to detect the presence of surface contaminants such as mold release agents, oils, greases and oxide films.
