Smooth-On Silicone Adhesive

Sil-Poxy™ is a one-component adhesive made specifically for bonding Smooth-On RTV mold making silicone rubbers to silicone rubber and other substrates including some plastics (urethane), plasters/ceramics, fabrics, etc.Sil-Poxy™ will work with Smooth-On tin or platinum cure mold making silicones and provides a strong, flexible bond between silicone parts with high elongation. Can be colored with Silc-Pig™ silicone pigments. Cured adhesive resists weathering, moisture, UV, and high temperatures. Sil-Poxy™ can be used to repair torn silicone rubber molds. Other applications include bonding silicone for prosthetics and animatronics.

Cured Sil-Poxy™ is certified skin safe. IMPORTANT - Do not apply to skin in liquid form.

Features

• Can be used to repair torn silicone rubber molds.
• Will work with tin- or platinum-cure silicones
• Provides a strong, flexible bond

Instructions

Safety - Use in a properly ventilated area (“room size” ventilation). Wear safety glasses, long sleeves, and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk.

Store and use material at room temperature (73°F/23°C). This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.

A clean, dry surface is essential for successful adhesive bonding. If possible, abrade the surface and follow with a solvent wipe before applying.

Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability for your project is recommended if the performance of this material is in question.

Dispensing - Squeeze the tube, taking care not to allow air to enter the tube before replacing the cap. Unused product in a tube exposed to air will cure quickly. Replace the cap immediately after dispensing.

Applying - Apply adhesive to the surface and mate parts. The material will begin to cure in about 5 minutes. Pieces can be handled after 1 hour depending on temperature and humidity. Full cure is attained after 24 hours.

Clean Up - Uncured Sil-Poxy™ can be removed from surfaces using isopropyl alcohol. Do not allow isopropyl alcohol to pool on silicone rubber surfaces.
