Silicone adhesives comprise an inorganic silicon–oxygen backbone chain with two organic groups attached to each silicon center. These materials can be cyclic or polymeric.
Silicone adhesives are split into classes and find applications on the basis of the types of curing (or drying) they undergo as well as their properties.
One-component condensation-curing silicones are broadly classified into acetoxy-curing silicones and neutral-curing silicones.
Acetoxy curing silicones release acetic acid upon curing. This lends to quick curing, and relative to other silicones, acetoxy silicones tend to adhere better to various substrates. The emission of acetic acid (though acceptable in many industrial applications) becomes a matter of concern when sensitive electronic components are present. While it is important to note that acetoxy curing silicones might be corrosive for certain substrates, they do offer many other advantages, and some of them are even biocompatible, making them useful for medical device manufacturing.
A tremendous step up in silicones is represented by neutral curing systems, which include the oxime and alkoxy silicones. ADSIL’s Supercon 9, Structural Glazing and Potting sealant encompass the alkoxy curing process. Neutral curing silicones are the extensive go-to in electronic applications. These unique systems are widely used in aerospace, electronic, and optical applications. Other neutral curing silicones present serious promise in medicine with their biocompatibility as well.

Baby clean energy might look forward to being raised by Mother Nature. But it won’t be pampered.
Solar, wind, tidal energy generation involve exposing photovoltaic devices and turbines to adverse factors that seriously hamper the longevity and performance of energy-producing devices. Factors such as dust, UV, corrosion, moisture, salt, and several others. Which calls upon sealants of the kind we make, which create a barrier between power generation devices and the elements. We’re sure to help clean energy get past infancy.

Because no one enjoys chips fried in water
Microchips, circuit boards, SMDs and other components of modern electronic devices, including those in PV cells, are extremely sensitive to moisture, other contaminants and mechanical shock.
The chances of short-circuits in these devices increase with their exposure to the outside.
Our potting sealants provide indispensable protection from water, mechanical shock and dust, prolonging the life of each component and massively reducing the chances of contaminant-induced short-circuits and failures.
