WACKER Elastosil E4 Silicone Adhesive Sealant
From £15.00 (£18.00 inc. VAT)
WACKER ELASTOSIL® E4 is a non-slump one-component silicone rubber, which cures at room temperature under the influence of atmospheric moisture. WACKER silicone adhesive sealants can be applied easily and economically either manually or with automated dispensing equipment. Compared to mechanical joining methods, adhesive sealants significantly reduce not only the quantity of parts (e.g. screws, rivets, etc.) but also the number of process steps. Hence, silicone adhesive sealants help to reduce process cycle time.
Cost-effectiveness and sustainability are key considerations when it comes to bonding and sealing. Bonding with silicone adhesive sealants has decisive advantages over traditional mechanical joining technologies in terms of handling, functionality, durability and cost-efficiency. Single part RTV (RTV-1) silicones are one-step, ready-to-use adhesives and sealants. They crosslink automatically when exposed to air humidity at room temperature.
RTV-1 silicones find many applications in form-in-place (FIP) gaskets and cure-in-place (CIP) gaskets.
- Non-slump
- Cured rubber with low Shore A hardness
- Excellent primerless adhesion to many substrates
- Bonding efficiency, acting as a bonding agent and sealant simultaneously
- High joint reliability: Thanks to the good electrical insulating properties of silicones, different metals can be bonded without the risk of galvanic corrosion.
- Joint stress relaxation thanks to a low Young’s modulus
- Ability to bond dissimilar materials, usually without the need for primers
- Permanent resistance to aqueous solutions, dilute acids and bases as well as solvents
- Resistant to radiation
- Processing tolerances for joint parts are effectively compensated and vibrations are effectively dampened thanks to its high elasticity
- Minimal moisture absorption; hydrophobic, water-repellent surface
