Dow DOWSIL 734 Flowable Sealant Silicone Elastomer – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL 734 in sealing applications?

A: DOWSIL 734 is a flowable, addition-cure silicone elastomer designed to provide excellent conformal sealing and gap-filling capabilities for complex or irregular surfaces, particularly in electronic encapsulation, automotive sensor protection, and precision industrial assemblies.


Q2: How does DOWSIL 734 differ from conventional high-viscosity silicone sealants?

A: Unlike traditional paste-like or caulking-grade silicones, DOWSIL 734 exhibits low viscosity and controlled thixotropy, enabling smooth dispensing, self-leveling behavior, and minimal air entrapment—making it especially suitable for automated processes and fine-feature sealing where uniform coverage is critical.


Q3: Is DOWSIL 734 compatible with common substrates such as plastics, metals, and printed circuit boards?

A: Yes, DOWSIL 734 demonstrates good adhesion to a broad range of substrates—including aluminum, stainless steel, glass, epoxy-based PCBs, and many engineering thermoplastics—without requiring primers, though surface cleanliness and compatibility testing under end-use conditions are recommended.


Q4: What curing mechanism does DOWSIL 734 use, and how does it affect processing?

A: DOWSIL 734 cures via platinum-catalyzed addition reaction, offering predictable, inhibitor-controlled cure profiles with no by-products. This enables precise control over pot life and cure speed through temperature adjustment, supporting both room-temperature handling and accelerated thermal cure in production environments.
