- Advantages
Incure Pyra-Sil™ one-part moisture cure silicones cure at room temperature with no curing ovens and the energy costs. Adheres to many metals, ceramics, glass, laminates and plastics. Surface cures within 5 mins and 95% strength acheived from 24 to 72hrs. Heat < 60°C (140°F) may be used to accelerate cure. Excellent physical and electrical properties over a broad range of operating conditions.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Cure Method
- Surface Preparation
All bonding surfaces must be free from contaminants such as grease, lose particles, oils, corrosive chemical stains etc. Rough or porous material such as metal castings should be baked at high temperature to burn off any embedded contaminants, especially trapped oils and chemicals. Smooth metal surfaces should ideally be abrasive blasted to 0.25mm (0.001”) for optimum results.
- Application Procedures
Prepared surface can be coated simply by brushing method, dipping or dispensing (for selective area coating). Products with viscosities lower than 500cP are suitable for use on spraying systems.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Cure Schedule
Product is best cured with a high intensity lamp, preferably > 200mW/cm2 of UVA. UV exposure starts the curing process and firm up the material with a skin layer, with moisture cure taking over to complete the full curing process. See Cure-Depth vs Time guide.
