Adhesives and Sealants


Dow Corning Electronics Introduces New Adhesives to Help Automotive Suppliers Reduce Costs , Dow Corning® EA-6052 and Dow Corning® EA-6054  - learn more from the Heat Cure Adhesives Overview

Sealing, Bonding, and Adhering
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 cures, 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.
