The name silicone was adapted by the industry and most of the time
Low Flammability
In fire conditions, Silicone Adhesives/Sealants are reluctant to
burn and, in fact, some grades are exceptionally flame retardant.
Even those types which eventually ignite have a low rate of heat
release and low by-product toxicity.
Many products comply with UL-94 flammability standards such
as UL-94 HB or UL-94 V-0.
Chemically Stable
Featuring good chemical stability, Dow Corning Silicone
Adhesive/Sealants are ideal for use in applications exposed to
harsh environments.
Being highly resistant to chemical attack, these materials
withstand long-term exposure to most organic and inorganic
chemicals, lubricants, and some solvents.
Environmentally Friendly
Dow Corning is striving to reduce the environmental footprint of
its operations, working largely from the framework of the
Responsible Care Pollution Prevention Code.
As a consequence, Dow Corning Adhesives/Sealants do not require
solvents, CFCs or other environmentally harmful materials for
processing.
Summary
Typical Characteristics of Dow Corning Silicone Adhesives/Sealants
products include ...
Wide service temperature range
Extremely weather resistance
Good adhesion to a wide range of substrates
High resistance to water, oil, coolant, detergent and many other
chemicals
Excellent electrical insulating properties
Low flammability
No solvents required for processing
