Hot Melt Adhesives


Revolutionary Sealant Technology Speeds Assembly Line Production


Dow Corning silicone hot melt sealants combine the production benefits of instant adhesion with the performance benefits of silicone elastomers to: 

  • Increased productivity
  • Improved quality
  • Reduced costs
  • Low VOC (Volatile Organic Content)

100% Silicone

Silicone hot melt is a patented reactive psa (pressure sensitive adhesion)/silicone sealant technology that provides high green strength for immediate hold and cures into a flexible, weather-resistant, cross-linked silicone sealant with outstanding durability and UV resistance.

Silicone Hot Melt Advantages

  • Parts can be moved from one processing step to the next without delays
  • Long-lasting adhesion to PVC, aluminum, painted and treated wood, high-performance paints, plastics and various substrates
  • Compatible with most common component materials without the need of a primer
  • Long open time, pot life and moderate application temperature (250º F [121º C]) offer user-friendly application
  • High viscosity at room temperature resists flow of material, reducing sealant squeeze out and clean up
  • Optimized for use with automated dispensing equipment, which creates a uniform seal for part-to-part consistency, minimizes sealant waste and cleanup, and can reduce labor costs substantialy.
  • Low VOC, low odor, and non hazardous formulation makes this a worker friendly product.
