LOCTITE® SI 5088: Versatile UV/Moisture-Cure Silicone Adhesive for Sealing and Bonding
LOCTITE® SI 5088 is a translucent, high-viscosity alkoxy silicone adhesive designed for elastic bonding, sealing, and leak-proofing applications.
Key Features:
- Dual-Cure Mechanism: Offers flexibility with UV light or moisture cure, adapting to various production processes.
- Highly Flexible Bond: Creates a soft elastomer ideal for applications requiring flexibility and shock absorption.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds well to a variety of materials, including glass, metals, ceramics, and some plastics.
- Broad Temperature Resistance: Performs well in extreme temperatures, from -76°F to 392°F (-60°C to +200°C).
- Fast Fixture Time: Achieves initial bonding within 30 seconds, streamlining production.
Applications:
- Sealing and leak-proofing applications on glass, metals, ceramics, and some plastics.
- Gasketing applications requiring a flexible and durable seal.
