SEALING & ADHESION
Silicones are used in a wide array of applications for bonding components,
and sealing against moisture or environmental contaminants. A comprehensive portfolio of 1 Part and 2 Part Adhesives and Sealants, many of which are excellent candidates for assembly applications on or near sensitive electrical and electronic components, are available. These materials are applied by a variety of methods ranging from manual dispensing to auto-dispensing units for tube, cartridge, pail, or drum packages. Mixing for 2 Part grades may be accomplished by either manual processes or meter mix dispensing, depending on production volume and post-mix material properties.
