Introduction to Sil-Poxy Glue

Sil-Poxy is a specialized adhesive designed for bonding silicone rubber to various substrates. Known for its quick cure time and strong bond, Sil-Poxy is favored in industries requiring reliable silicone adhesion.

Suitable Surfaces for Sil-Poxy Application

Silicone Rubber

Sil-Poxy is primarily used for adhering silicone rubber materials. It forms a strong, flexible bond that mirrors the properties of the silicone itself, making it ideal for applications where movement or flexing occurs.

Glass

The adhesive properties of Sil-Poxy allow for effective bonding with glass surfaces. It is often utilized in applications that require transparent or translucent bonding without compromising the structural integrity of the material.

Ceramics

With its strong adhesion capabilities, Sil-Poxy can be used on ceramics. It acts as a filler and adhesive, ensuring a robust bond, even with the potentially porous surface of ceramic materials.

Some Plastics

Sil-Poxy shows compatibility with certain types of plastics, especially those exhibiting similar thermal expansion properties as silicone. However, a test application is recommended to ensure compatibility with specific plastic types.

Metal

Metals can be effectively bonded with Sil-Poxy when properly cleaned and prepared. This includes stainless steel and aluminum, often used in industrial applications requiring durable and lasting bonds.

Secbond Company Solutions

Secbond provides tailored adhesive solutions, including Sil-Poxy, for various industrial needs. With a focus on maximizing adhesive performance, Secbond addresses specific application demands and environmental considerations.

Performance Parameters and Numerical Analysis

Sil-Poxy demonstrates high tensile strength, typically measured at 300 psi on silicone rubber substrates. It offers quick setting times, generally achieving full cure within 24 hours at standard room temperatures. The operating temperature range for Sil-Poxy is between -65°F to 400°F (-54°C to 204°C), ensuring versatility across diverse operational environments.
