Adhesives and Sealants


Adhesives are used primarily to attach components, such as module lids and baseplates, within electronic modules and to seal openings in a module to exclude dirt, water or other contaminants.

A key benefit of Dow Corning ® brand Adhesives is their potential to significantly increase reliability of the electronic module or component because of their stress-relieving properties. This low-stress environment can reduce damage to module components and interconnections. Dow Corning Adhesives are also able to maintain their stress-relieving nature during exposure to extreme environmental conditions like high temperature and humidity.

Dow Corning Adhesives also offer versatile processing. Some are cured at room temperature, while others can be heat accelerated. This allows faster process times or the use of lower-temperature materials, depending on the needs of your application and process.

If you need a material:

Consider products:

To be used in stress-sensitive applications

With low durometer values

For use around heat-sensitive components that cannot withstand high cure temperatures

That cure at room temperature or with moderate heat

For use without the need for mixing

That are one part

For rapid processing

With fast cure times

That will remain in place where applied during cure

That are nonslumping

That will flow and self-level

With low to moderate viscosity values

That will fill small spaces

With the lowest viscosity values; or, with higher viscosity products, use vacuum during processing

That cures in thick sections above 1/8 inch (3 mm)

That are heat curing

With good strength

With higher tensile values

With very low levels of outgassing

That have low-volatility properties

That have been tested to common industry standards

That have been classified by Underwriters Laboratories and/or meet military specifications
