Processing
Surface preparation:
All surfaces must be clean and free of contaminants that will inhibit the cure of ELASTOSIL® RT 713. Examples of inhibiting contaminants are sulfur containing materials, plasticizers, urethanes, amine containing materials and organometallic compounds – especially organotin compounds. If a substrate’s ability to inhibit cure is unknown, a small scale test should be run to determine compatibility.
Dispensing:
Because of the high thixotropy (shear thinning effect) ELASTOSIL® RT 713 can be dispensed easily with all dispensing equipments.
Curing:
- ELASTOSIL® RT 713 works best when cured at 115 °C or more depending on the size and heat sink properties of the components.
- ELASTOSIL® RT 713 shows good primerless adhesion to many substrates (metals, glass, ceramics, plastics). We recommend running preliminary tests to optimize conditions for the particular application.
