Products in Adhesives & Sealants: Good Weather Stability

9200 is a toughened, 2-part epoxy adhesive, designed to create long-lasting load-bearing joints. It creates tough vibration-resistant bonds and is especially useful for joining dissimilar materials that will experience thermal cycling stresses or harsh environmental conditions. This smooth, non-sagging, thixotropic adhesive is excellent for use on vertical surfaces, for gap filling, and for potting electronics enclosures with gaps where a non-thixotropic encapsulant would flow through. For a flame retardant version, use 9200FR.

It creates tough vibration resistant bonds and is especially useful for joining dissimilar materials that will experience thermal cycling stresses or harsh environmental conditions. This smooth, non-sagging, thixotropic adhesive is excellent for use on vertical surfaces, for gap filling, and for potting electronics enclosures with gaps where a non-thixotropic encapsulant would flow through.

The 1035 Premium RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant is a one-part, spreadable, non-corrosive, translucent paste. It is a fast curing and designed to provide quick initial adhesion build. The adhesive sealant retains elastomeric properties for long periods at temperatures from -60 to 204 °C (-76 to 399 °F). The 1035 is excellent for the sealing and bonding of electronic components onto printed circuit boards and protecting copper connections on electronic part assemblies. It also provides excellent weather proofing where power cords enter motors. It can be used as a gasket for leak resistant sealing and insulating.

RTV5810 series sealants are neutral cure, one-component, ready-to-use silicone adhesive sealants that cure to tough resilient silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. These sealants are fast curing, paste consistency products that may be considered for use where quick initial adhesion build is desired. This may allow for movement of the sealed assemblies in a shorter period of time, increasing productivity.

RTV102 one-component, ready-to-use adhesive sealants are extremely versatile. They cure to a tough, durable, resilient silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. Acetic acid vapors are released from the sealant surface as a by-product of cure. RTV102, RTV103, RTV106, RTV108, RTV109, RTV112, RTV116 and RTV118 one-component, ready-to-use adhesive sealants are extremely versatile. They cure to a tough, durable, resilient silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. Acetic acid vapors are released from the sealant surface as a by-product of cure. Since all these sealants utilize a moisture cure system, they must not be used in thicknesses of greater than 6mm (1/4 in.). Where section depths exceed 6mm (1/4 in.), Momentive Performance Materials one component, addition cure or two-component silicone rubber compounds are recommended.

SC-417 is a two-part, low viscosity, clear silicone which will cure at room temperature or at elevated temperatures.
