DOWSIL 96-083

Main features

  • 10:1 Silicone Mixing
  • 30-Minute Cure at 150 deg C
  • Low-Viscosity Self-Leveling Flow

Product Description

DOWSIL 96-083 Silicone Adhesive Kit is a two-part, translucent silicone adhesive mixed at 10:1 for heat-cured component bonding. The low-viscosity formulation can flow, fill, or self-level after dispensing and contains no added solvents. The addition-cure system is processed above 100 deg C, with a cure schedule of 30 minutes at 150 deg C. Typical cured hardness is 55 Shore A. Documented substrates include ceramics, plastics, glass, and metals.

Key features

  • Two-part mix ratio: The two-part adhesive is mixed at a 10:1 ratio.
  • Elevated-temperature cure: The cure schedule is 30 minutes at 150 deg C.
  • Self-leveling flow: The low-viscosity adhesive can flow, fill, or self-level after dispensing.

Applications

Component fixing and bonding on ceramics, plastics, glass, and metals.

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something. It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks. It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.

Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material. Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property. As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.

Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
