Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for DOWSIL 736?
A: The CAS Number for DOWSIL 736 Heat Resistant Sealant is 68953-58-2.
Q2: How much sealant should be applied for optimal joint performance?
A: Apply a continuous, uniform bead sufficient to fill the joint gap with slight overfill (typically 1.5× gap depth); minimum cured thickness should be ≥0.5 mm to ensure cohesive strength and thermal resilience.
Q3: How does DOWSIL 736 differ from DOWSIL 732 or 734 in high-temperature applications?
A: Unlike DOWSIL 732 (moderate-temp acetoxy cure) and 734 (mid-temp neutral cure), DOWSIL 736 is specifically engineered for sustained operation above 260°C with enhanced oxidative stability, lower compression set, and superior resistance to thermal degradation.
Q4: Is DOWSIL 736 compliant with FDA 21 CFR §175.300 for incidental food contact?
A: No — DOWSIL 736 is not FDA-listed for food-contact applications. For food-grade high-temp sealing, consult DOWSIL 3140 or DOWSIL Q2-3183 per specific regulatory validation requirements.
Q5: Does DOWSIL 736 exhibit extractables or leachables under thermal aging conditions?
A: Under standard thermal aging (e.g., 250°C for 1000 hrs), DOWSIL 736 shows negligible volatile organic compound (VOC) release and no detectable low-molecular-weight siloxanes (e.g., D4/D5) by GC-MS — consistent with ISO 10993-12 extraction protocols.
