Product Introduction
Momentive SilGrip™ PSA518 Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is a xylene-based silicone adhesive made from phenyl polysiloxane gum and resin, supplied at 56% silicone solids. It can be diluted with various solvents and blended with SR545 resin dispersion for tailored performance. PSA518 is effective for coating film and fabric substrates to produce industrial pressure-sensitive tapes. Its superior thermal stability makes it an excellent option for electrical insulation tapes and masking tapes used in electronics, plasma spray, and flame spray applications.
SilGrip™ PSA518 Features
- Wide temperature performance with strong shear and tack up to 550°F
- Adheres to low-energy surfaces such as silicones, fluoropolymers, and polyolefins
- Resistant to moisture, ozone, sunlight, acids, alkalis, oils, flux, and fungal attack
- Balanced tack, peel adhesion, lap shear strength, and creep resistance
- Excellent electrical properties for insulation-related applications
SilGrip™ PSA518 Applications
- Industrial pressure-sensitive tapes for film and fabric substrates
- Electrical insulation tape manufacturing
- Masking tapes for electronic, plasma spray, and flame spray processes
- Tape applications requiring high thermal stability and environmental resistance
- Adhesive systems used on low-energy or specialty surfaces
