About Silicone Adhesives and Sealants

Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and a very high temperature resistance (up to 600° F), but lack the strength of other epoxy or acrylic resins. They are based upon silicone elastomeric technology. Silicone adhesives and silicone sealants are available in two-component addition or condensation curing systems or single component RTV forms. Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) forms cure through reaction with moisture in the air and give off aciatic acid fumes or other by-product vapors during curing. Technologies or cure systems for silicone adhesives and sealants are usually defined as pressure sensitive, radiation cured, moisture cured, thermoset, and RTV.

Products & Services Related to Silicone Adhesives and Sealants

Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants

Anaerobic adhesives and anaerobic sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.

Cyanoacrylate Adhesives

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are one-part acrylate adhesives that cure instantly on contact with mated surfaces through a reaction with surface moisture. Cyanoacrylates are often called super glues.

Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.

Plastic and Rubber Balls

Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications.

Polymers and Plastic Materials

Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.

Rubber Adhesives and Sealants

Rubber adhesives and sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.

Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials

Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
