LOCTITE SI 5600
Harmonization Code : 2901.10.00.00 | Acyclic hydrocarbons; Saturated
Main features
- 2:1 Volume Mix Ratio
- 3.5 to 10 Minute Fixture Time
- At Least 120% Cured Elongation
Product Description
LOCTITE SI 5600 is a two-part alkoxy silicone adhesive/sealant. The represented black configuration mixes Part A and Part B at 2:1 by volume and forms a black thixotropic paste. At 25 deg C, fixture time is 3.5 to 4 minutes on Alclad and 5 to 10 minutes on steel using the stated ISO 4587 threshold. The system is used for bonding and sealing metals, glass, and ceramic or glass-ceramic assemblies. After seven days at 22 deg C and 50% RH, cured properties include at least 120% elongation, at least 1.0 N/mm^2 tensile strength, and 19.4 kV/mm dielectric breakdown strength.
Key features
- Two-Part Mixing: Part A and Part B are mixed at 2:1 by volume for the represented black configuration.
- Substrate-Dependent Fixture Time: Reaches fixture strength in 3.5 to 4 minutes on Alclad and 5 to 10 minutes on steel at 25 deg C under the stated ISO 4587 threshold.
- Cured Flexibility: Elongation is at least 120% by ISO 37 after seven days at 22 deg C and 50% RH.
Applications
Bonding and sealing of metals, glass, and ceramic or glass-ceramic assemblies, including high-temperature appliance assemblies.
