Silicone Adhesive: Is it the Best Choice for you?

Contrasted with other adhesive types, silicone adhesive is clearly distinctive. The unique chemical composition polymers gives silicone adhesives elastomeric properties not found in many other adhesives.

This elasticity makes silicone adhesive highly flexible and resistant to changes in temperature. Silicone adhesives can withstand high levels of heat, whilst remaining highly elastic at temperatures as low as -75ºC.

Silicone adhesives are generally selected due to their capability to elastically absorb and/or compensate dynamic stresses. Furthermore, this material caters for the most varied substrate combinations including such as metal to wood or metal to glass.

More and more we are seeing silicone adhesives replacing conventional mechanical fasteners and lowering production costs in modern manufacturing industries.
