Adhesive/Sealants

Silicones and Electronics

Long-term, reliable protection of sensitive circuits and components is important in many of today’s delicate and demanding electronic applications. Silicones function as durable dielectric insulation, as barriers against environmental contaminants and as stress-relieving shock and vibration absorbers over a wide temperature and humidity range.

In addition to sustaining their physical and electrical properties over a broad range of operating conditions, silicones are resistant to ozone and ultraviolet degradation, have good chemical stability and are available in a variety of useful forms as conformal coatings, encapsulants and adhesives. Dow Corning’s broad range of general purpose and specialty products offers you a choice of materials for your application needs.

Dow Corning offers a variety of noncorrosive silicone products for electronic sealing, bonding and adhering applications. These adhesives generally fall into three cure types. The first group are moisture cure, generally meant for room-temperature processing. The second type (condensation cure) offers rapid room-temperature and deep-section curing. The third type is heat cure for rapid processing. All convert to durable, relatively low stress elastomers. Most will develop good, primerless adhesion to a variety of common substrates including ceramics, reactive metals and filled plastics.

Silicone MoldMaking

If you're looking for an easy-to-use moldmaking material that will deliver consistently superior results, look no further. With silicone moldmaking materials from Dow Corning, you can create tough-but-flexible molds to reproduce intricate details and deliver high-quality replicas, again and again. Remember, the closest thing to a reproduction from a sili­cone mold is the original itself.  

We make variety of products to meet a variety of needs: from reproduction of figurines, collectibles, jewelry, candles, and artifacts; to molding of prototypes, industrial tooling, and furniture; to creating silicone rubber pads for transfer print­ing and robotic skins for animated creatures; to architectural fabrication. Our products can be used with masters made of stone, glass, wood, metal, wax, ceramic, plaster, and clay. And they're compatible with a wide range of casting materials. Each product consists of two components: a liquid sili­cone rubber base and a catalyst or curing agent. There are two basic cure types - condensation cure and addition cure - each containing several products in a range of viscosities with variable cure times.
