Creative Materials 117-33

117-33 is a flexible, electrically conductive, silicone pressure sensitive adhesive. The overall balance of peel strength, cohesion, lap shear strength and high temperature holding power provides a versatility that makes this product useful in a wide range of fastening and bonding applications. This product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for 117-33 include, polymer thick film circuitry, and electrical attachments for stress sensitive devices. 117-33 is one of the few conductive adhesives that can bond to silicone substrates and surfaces. In addition, it can be bonded to some types of Teflon® surfaces.

Storage & Handling

Suggested Handling & Curing

117-33 is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of CMI Thinner # 113-12. Prior to using, be certain to resuspend filler. Apply thin film of adhesive to both surfaces to be bonded. Heat for 5 to 10 minutes at 100°C and assemble while still warm. Apply slight pressure to assure good mating of surfaces and formation of filet. Best properties, for most applications, result when cured for 5 to 10 minutes at 160°C. Add 1-2% B507 catalyst when maximum strength and chemical resistance is needed. Good properties are obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 180°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications.

Shelf Life

Shelf life: 6 months at 25°C; or 9 months at 5°C; or 12 months at -10°C.
NOTE: Use catalyzed product within 24 - 36 hours.
