CSL Silicones CSL588 Electronic Grade Silicone Sealant / Adhesive
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
CSL Silicones CSL588 Electronic Grade Silicone Sealant / Adhesive is one part, moisture cure, room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV), electronic grade 100% silicone sealant that cures to form a tough, permanently flexible rubber. The non-corrosive curing system makes it ideally suited for protecting, sealing and insulating corrosion-sensitive electrical and electronic materials such as copper, brass and silver. CSL588 has excellent dielectric properties, high surface resistivity and repels water to protect sensitive electronic components. CSL588 has superior resistance to weathering including ozone, ultraviolet radiation and airborne chemicals.
