FLEXcon has announced the SA6000 Series of tacky silicone
adhesives, which offer the ease of use of acrylic adhesives but with silicone
adhesive's performance in extreme temperatures. These products are ideal for
high- and low-temperature gasketing and sealing, vibration damping in a wide
variety of temperatures, and applications calling for limited flammability in the
automotive, aerospace, industrial, and flexible electronics industries. The
products operate at temperatures from
-300°F to 500°F, and have a tack level of 760 grams (ASTM 2979).
Adhesives in FLEXcon's SA6000 Series are flexible and
breathable, and their tackiness allows for product assembly to be done more
easily and efficiently. Silicone adhesives take up to 72 hours to cure, but
FLEXcon's SA6000 tackiness will hold the bond until the adhesive cures,
facilitating automated assembly. The product's adhesive qualities keep it on
the release liner through the production process, while also allowing for die
cutting without an unintended peel-off of the liner that could disrupt
production.
The SA6000 Series is offered as a transfer tape, a
single-coated construction, and in a double-coated construction such as one
that includes silicone adhesive on one side of a film or liner and an acrylic
adhesive on the other.
