  • For applications requiring an operating temperature range of -65°C to 315°C (-85°F to 600°F)
Instructions for Use

Mixing

Mix in a 10:1 ratio Part A to Part B. Take care to minimize air entrapment during mixing.

Vacuum Deaeration

Remove air entrapped during mixing by common vacuum deaeration procedure, observing all applicable safety precautions. Slowly apply vacuum, up to 28 inches Hg, to a container rated for use and of volume at least four times that of material being deaerated. Hold vacuum until presence of air is no longer evident.

Note: Some bonding applications may require the use of a primer. NuSil Technology CF1-135 silicone primer is recommended.

Adjustable Cure Schedule

Product cures at room temperature and a wide range of elevated temperatures and cure times to accommodate different production needs.
