Dow recently introduced its new DOWSIL™ EA-3838 Fast Adhesive, a primerless silicone adhesive that cures rapidly without oven heat for improved productivity and reduced energy usage in the manufacture of appliances, automotive electronics, lighting, and avionics. According to Dow, this new adhesive cures at room temperature and provides fast adhesion for shorter cycle times. In addition, DOWSIL EA-3838 Fast Adhesive reportedly creates strong, reliable bonds between a variety of dissimilar materials, including glass to metal, glass to painted metal, and glass to plastic.
“Appliance manufacturers and those in other key industries are increasingly calling for higher performing industrial adhesives that are reliable, strong, easy-to-use and promote cost-saving efficiencies,” said Pina Beato, European marketing manager. “New DOWSIL™ EA-3838 Fast Adhesive is addressing this demand and illustrates Dow’s commitment to providing our valued customers with the cutting-edge materials they need to achieve the right balance of properties, better bonding and more efficient overall business operations.”
