Properties of Two Part Silicone Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings

Master Bond offers a number of specialty two part silicones for bonding, sealing, protective coatings, and formed-in-place gaskets. These two part systems cure by the polymerization reaction that occurs when a curing agent is added. Master Bond's line of silicones includes high-performance elastomeric RTV silicone rubber adhesives with a unique combination of flexibility and high-temperature resistance. Because of their resistance to shock and vibration, Master Bond's two part silicones serve as excellent conformal coatings for sensitive electronic circuitry.

The flexibility inherent in Master Bond's two part silicones allows for easy repair of the adhesive after it has cured. Such “repairability” is possible even without any additional solvent. Besides for the high flexibility, these compounds resist humidity and extreme temperatures, some remaining serviceable from temperatures as low as -65°F to as high as 500°F.
