Description: This is a 1-part, RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) silicone adhesive sealant. It is one in a range of Oxime cure products which are solvent free. It exhibits good primerless adhesion to many substrates especially plastics and cures rapidly at room temperature when in contact with atmospheric moisture. This product can be described as low corrosive but would not be recommended for use with copper or its associated alloys. Key Features - Adheres to many substrates such as aluminium, non-ferrous metals, steel, glass, glass fabric, ceramics, thermosetting and thermoplastic synthetics, wood and other materials.
- For sealings, elastic bondings and insulations in the industrial field.
Application: For seals and bonds, elastic bonds and insulations in the industrial field. Preparation of Work ALPATEC 171 TRANSP is ready for use and can be processed directly out of the original container without mixing. The substrate must be dry and free from dust and grease as otherwise a reduced adhesion must be expected. In some cases the surface must be pre-treated. Please ask in each individual case. For degreasing non-porous areas such as e.g. metal and glass we recommend using KÖRASOLV GL (and undyed crêpe paper or similar). Pay attention when cleaning synthetic materials which tend to forming stress cracks, e.g. polycarbonate, polyacrylate. Please check! Vulcanisation (Curing) ALPATEC 171 TRANSP vulcanises under air humidity impact. Low temperatures and a low air humidity retard the curing process, whereas higher values accelerate it. Thicker silicone coats prolong the curing time. The below list shows the curing behaviour of ALPATEC 171 TRANSP at 23 °C and 50 % rel. air humidity. After 1 day : 3 mm and transparent After 2 days : 5 mm and transparent After 3 days : 6 mm and transparent Seals and bonds with ALPATEC 171 TRANSP must only be mechanically or thermally strained after having completely vulcanised. Solvents and Cleaning Agents For cleaning non-porous surfaces and working devices and for removing fresh compound KÖRASOLV GL is suitable.Cured Product: Standard climate DIN 50 014 - 23/50-2.
