Kembond SSC-RTV

 
epoxy1
 
Kembond SSC-RTV is a single component electrically conductive adhesive comprising of silicone resin filled with conductive silver-plated copper particles. It cures on exposure to air at room temperature to form an electrically conductive flexible silicone elastomer. Once cured it adheres strongly to a wide range substrates.

Main features

  • - Single component - ready to use
  • - Room temperature cure
  • - Neutral cure - does not evolve corrosive by-products on curing
  • - Safe for use with most common substrates - non tarnishing / discolouring
  • - Excellent resistance to ageing
  • - Wide service temperature range - remains flexible and conductive at extremes of temperature
  • - Stable - low bond (joint) resistance through temperature cycling

Applications

  • - Vibration and/or shock resistant sealant/adhesive for electronic assemblies
  • - Electrical connection/bonding of materials with dissimilar thermal expansion coefficients i.e. mounting shielded windows
  • - EMI shielding with environmental sealing (IP68 possible)
  • - ESD control/grounding

Packaging


Kembond SSC-RTV can be supplied in either standard manual or pneumatic (air dispense) 10ml syringe barrels from which the material may be directly applied. Both formats will accept a variety of dispense tips (including luer lock types) for accurate, controlled application. Larger sizes of 55ml & 170ml are available on request

Storage


It is recommended that when not in use that the material is stored in a cool dark, dry place. If the facility exists then some form of refrigerated or freezer storage is ideal. If kept properly sealed and in a suitable location then the material will remain usable for up to 16 weeks.

Handling


When using this material observe usual standards of industrial hygiene/practice. Avoid skin/eye contact and work in a well ventilated area. For more detailed information please refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)

Instructions for use


Surfaces should be clean dry and sound i.e. free from loose material. It is recommended that areas to be bonded are cleaned using a suitable solvent prior to applying the sealant
 
To ensure the highest level of electrical or shielding performance it is essential that the surfaces to be bonded have a low contact resistance. This means that materials that have a naturally occurring oxide layer such as aluminium alloys may need to be lightly abraded and cleaned directly prior to bonding.
 
Assemble parts as soon as possible and certainly within 5 minutes of sealant application
 
Material cures from it's outer exposed surface inwards, therefore avoid bond widths greater than 12mm
 
In most cases parts may be handled after 24 hours but avoid stressing the joint until full cure has been achieved
 
The time for full cure to take place is dependent on both humidity and temperature. Higher levels of temperature and humidity will minimise curing times whilst low levels of humidity and temperature will retard curing. Generally, cure rate may be most conveniently controlled by means of temperature
 
Excess material should be removed by means of a spatula or similar implement. Smaller traces of the uncured material may be removed by wiping with a lint free cloth damped with MEK, petroleum spirit etc taking care to observe the safety precautions required in using flammable/harmful solvents of this type
 
A priming agent is available for treating some inconsistent or difficult to bond surfaces. Please contact us for further information
