ELASTOSIL® E43 TRANSPARENT is a moderately self-levelling, one-component, acetoxy-cure silicone rubber (RTV-1) that cures at room temperature under the influence of atmospheric moisture. It has excellent mechanical properties and good adhesion to many substrates, and is used in particular as an adhesive on cured silicone rubber. It is a high-tear, high elongation, ready to use and solvent-free grade with good adhesion to metals, glass and ceramics. It is used as a multipurpose sealant and adhesive for formed-in-place gaskets (FIPG) in general industry and electronics, for seam sealing of silicone coated textiles and in aerospace.
