Features and Benefits of Silicone Adhesives
- Biocompatibility
- Clamping is not always necessary when applying a Silicone adhesive to a product or material
- Simplifies construction through increasing strength to hold heavy or dynamic loads
- Prevents material fatigue and failure by achieving uniform transmission of the load (stress distribution) and by maintaining the structural integrity (no thermal or mechanical weakening of parts)
- Saves production costs through replacing commonly used fasteners with a silicone adhesive such as screws and rivets.
- Applied to a combination of materials such as metal/plastics, metal/glass and metal/wood.
- Excellent temperature and UV resistance
- Flexible bonding
- A great solution for many applications, due to its excellent resistance to moisture and weathering. Applications such as guttering, building materials, metal, glass, fibreglass, rubber, wood, fabric and some plastics.
- The curing of the adhesive can vary between 20 minutes up to 72 hours, once cured the silicone becomes mechanically and chemically locked into place.
- Chemically and thermally stable
- Skins over in less than an hour, usually drying at room temperature
- Even when dried, the adhesive is flexible
- Silicone adhesive is a great solution when used as a sealant when sealing two materials together, this is because more often than not the adhesive is non-corrosive
RS Components supplies a great range of silicone adhesives, brought to you from leading brand such as Loctite, Acc Silicones and of course our very trusted own brand RS Pro.
