Silicone Aluminum Sheet Bonded

Sheet aluminum being relatively lightweight for a sheet metal will easily join with a heavy duty epoxy provided the liquid resin is applied in high enough quantities for the project.
Silicone aluminum sheet bonded. The molded rubber parts pictured are not in stock or for sale. Schwerdtle silicone sheets are used extensively in assembly and decorating operations such as heat transfers and sealing. Precision ground for flatness. Dead soft aluminum bonded heat seal silicone sheet options.
Silicone rubber sheet is chemically bonded to an aluminum substrate using our proprietary process for durability. Permabond et515 and mt382 are popular choices for thin panel aluminum bonding as they minimize or eliminate read through show through. United silicone bonded silicone rubber sheets are engineered and compression molded. This makes epoxy one of the few glues that s good for joining hard heavy non porous materals like metal glass and stone.
The bond between the aluminum and the silicone and the silicone itself are all designed to withstand hundreds of autoclave cleaning in a medical environment. Standard metal thickness is 1 16 12 x 24 or 24 x 36 standard sheet sizes. The stock sheet backing options are aluminum cold rolled steel dead soft aluminum stainless steel and unbonded. Single component epoxies are ideal for bonding aluminum.
Spray a solvent based activator accelerator aa on either the silicone rubber or metal. Consider es550 or es558. Dead soft aluminum bonded heat seal silicone sheet specifications. 1 32 to 1 2 rubber thickness.
Our silicone rubber is heat tolerant to 500 degrees farenheit and provides a non marring surface. Compression molding provides increased durability in comparison to extruded silicone rubbers. Structural acrylics such as ta4246 are very strong aluminum bonders. Warm the polypropylene surface with a hair dryer or heat gun.
Once the silicone is bonded to the aluminum custom rubber corp. Two component epoxies also form strong bonds to aluminum. Saturate the silicone rubber surface with an adhesion promoter designed to work with poly s. In this particular case the application is a medical instrument handle so top notch craftsmanship and consistency are required.
80 shore a durometer. Checks 100 of the parts for strong bond. 60 shore a durometer.
