| DOWSIL™ 3-8259 RF Silicone Foam Dark Grey Kit 2x20 L |
| Product Overview |
| DOWSIL™ 3-8259 RF Silicone Foam Dark Grey is a 2-part, room-temperature fast-expanding dark grey liquid silicone foam engineered for formed-in-place gasketing (FIPG), environmental sealing, and thermal/acoustic insulation in electronic and industrial enclosures. Its "RF" (Reduced Flammability) formulation provides enhanced fire resistance for safety-critical applications. Upon 1:1 mixing, Part A and Part B rapidly react and expand at room temperature to form a low-density, flexible, medium-closed-cell silicone sponge elastomer. It delivers excellent compressibility, low compression set, and long-term thermal stability. The 2x20 L pail kit (20 L Part A + 20 L Part B) is designed for medium-to-large automated meter-mix dispensing equipment and robotic gasketing lines. |
| Key Features and Benefits |
| • Reduced Flammability (RF): Flame-retardant formulation engineered for safety-critical automotive and electrical enclosures. • Dark Grey Color Standard: Provides clean visual integration with industrial enclosures and OEM automotive assemblies. • Fast Room-Temperature Expansion: Expands and cures rapidly at room temperature without requiring heat ovens, optimizing process cycle times. • Effective FIPG Sealing: Conforms seamlessly to complex joint geometries, providing a durable barrier against moisture, water, and dust. • Low Compression Set: Retains its elastic recovery and sealing pressure under prolonged compressive strain. • Convenient Pail Packaging (2x20 L): Ideal size for automated meter-mix dispensing systems and robotic gasketing equipment. • Broad Thermal Stability: Maintains flexibility and sealing integrity across severe temperature extremes from -50°C to +200°C (-58°F to +392°F). |
| Technical Specifications |
| • Appearance / Color: Dark Grey • Packaging / Volume: Pail Kit / 2x20 L (20 L Part A + 20 L Part B) • Chemical Base: 2-Part Liquid Silicone Foam (Addition-cure / Platinum catalyst) • Mix Ratio (by weight / volume): 1:1 • Foam Structure: Flexible, Low-Density Cellular Silicone Sponge • Cure System: Room Temperature Fast Expansion & Cure (RTV) • Service Temperature Range: -50°C to +200°C (-58°F to +392°F) |
| Applications |
| • Formed-in-place gasketing (FIPG) for automotive lighting, electronic control units, sensor modules, and battery pack covers. • Environmental sealing, dust protection, and water resistance for industrial control panels and outdoor telecom cabinets. • Vibration damping, acoustic isolation, and thermal buffering in delicate electronic assemblies. • Automated production lines requiring flame-retardant formed-in-place cellular silicone gaskets. |
Usage Note: Dispense Part A and Part B through automated 1:1 meter-mix dispensing machinery equipped with static or dynamic mixers. The expansion rate and snap time depend on ambient temperature. Avoid exposure to sulfur, amines, organometallic compounds, and nitrogen compounds to prevent platinum catalyst cure inhibition. Fully optimized for robotic dispensing equipment.
