Dow XIAMETER ADH-6045 Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary function of DOW XIAMETER ADH-6045 Adhesive in silicone formulations?
A: ADH-6045 is a specialty adhesion promoter designed to enhance bonding between addition-cure liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and challenging substrates such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and certain engineered thermoplastics—without requiring surface pretreatment.
Q2: Is ADH-6045 compatible with platinum-catalyzed LSR systems?
A: Yes, ADH-6045 is formulated specifically for use in platinum-catalyzed addition-cure silicone systems and does not interfere with cure kinetics or final elastomer properties when used at recommended levels.
Q3: How is ADH-6045 typically incorporated into an LSR formulation?
A: It is generally added to the A-side (platinum-containing side) of the LSR system during compounding, under controlled conditions to ensure uniform dispersion. Dosage depends on formulation requirements but typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total polymer solids.
Q4: Does ADH-6045 affect the thermal stability or mechanical properties of cured LSR?
A: When used within the recommended dosage range, ADH-6045 does not significantly compromise the thermal resistance, tensile strength, or elongation of the cured silicone elastomer—provided full crosslinking is achieved.
