DOWSIL EA-7100 also known as Dow Corning Thermal Radical Cure EA-7100 Adhesive is a onepart, non-flowing adhesive enabling design flexibility due to strong adhesion to a broad range of substrates.
Benefits: - Design flexibility due to durable adhesion to a broad range of substrates
- Faster cure times and/or lower cure temperatures
- Adhesion that forms simultaneously with the cure to specific substrates
- Low void formation
- Adhesion in harsh environments
- Good results from salt spray, water immersion and saltwater immersion testing
- Potential elimination of some cleaning steps
- Less sensitive to contamination
The new adhesive can also reduce electronic modules’ costs by removing process steps, reducing cure time, lowering cure temperatures and more.
Dow Corning EA-7100 Adhesive provides robust adhesion to a broad variety of surfaces like
Plastics (Epoxy, Liquid crystal polymer (LCP), Phenolic, Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Plexiglas®), Polyamide (nylon), Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), Polycarbonate (PC), Polyethylene (low-density polyethylene/LDPE, cross-linked polyethylene/PEX), Polyimide , Polyphenylene ether (PPE), Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
