POWERSIL® 590

1 of 35 products in this brand
POWERSIL® 590 is a purpose-built, thermally stabilized, one-component silicone sealant with a retarded curing process. Its low viscosity makes it easy to cast, and it offers primerless adhesion. This protective silicone sealant is specifically designed for cable jointing applications. In the absence of moisture, POWERSIL® 590 remains in a liquid state for an extended period, preventing the formation of voids.

Application Details
  • Protective silicone sealant, designed especially for cable jointing applications.
  • In the absence of moisture POWERSIL® 590 remains liquid for a long time. Thus the generation of voids is prevented.

Processing

  • POWERSIL® 590 is preferably applied by casting. Material cures under the influence of moisture.
  • Make sure that the shell does not contain any water before casting. Keep container tightly closed until usage.
