Key Features & Technical Benefits

  • One-Part, Moisture-Cure System
    No mixing required. Cures at room temperature when exposed to air moisture—ideal for fast and efficient production.

  • Excellent Thermal Resistance
    Maintains elasticity from –60 °C to +250 °C; specialized grades withstand peaks up to 300 °C.

  • Superior Adhesion
    Bonds effectively to metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, and other substrates. Primerless on many surfaces.

  • Outstanding Weatherability
    Resists UV, ozone, moisture, and aging—ensures long-term performance in outdoor and demanding environments.

  • Excellent Electrical Insulation
    Suitable for sealing and potting electronic components and connectors.

  • Low Shrinkage & Clean Cure
    Minimal by-product release (acetoxy, oxime, or alkoxy types), low odor, and low shrinkage during cure.

  • Multiple Cure Chemistry Options

    • Acetoxy Cure: Fast skin time, ideal for general-purpose sealing

    • Neutral Cure (Oxime/Alkoxy): Non-corrosive to metals and sensitive electronics

    • Low-Volatile & Low-Emission Grades: Suitable for high-reliability and confined applications

Typical Applications

Industry Application Examples
Electronics PCB potting, sensor sealing, EMI shielding, conformal coating
Automotive Gaskets for engine, headlights, exhaust, and sensors
Aerospace Wire harness sealing, electrical insulation, environmental gasketing
Construction Window glazing, expansion joints, curtain wall sealants
Industrial Equipment housings, vibration damping, weather-resistant sealing
