Data sheets
Multipurpose grade for bonding, sealing and potting e.g in electronic applications.
ELASTOSIL® N10 TRANSPARENT is a one-part room temperature vulcanizing sealant that cures to a flexible silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture. Higher humidity accelerates skin formation and curing as well as elevated temperature. However temperature shall not exceed 50°C during cure. During the crosslinking process, some oxime by-product is released.
After about 25 minutes a dry skin is formed. After formation of a sufficiently thick skin, glued parts may be handled without destruction. ELASTOSIL® N10 shows good primerless adhesion to many substrates. We recommend to run preliminary tests to optimize conditions for the particular application.
If removing of silicone rubber from machines or dispensing equipment is necessary, white spirit is recommended as a solvent. However, cleaning should take place before the rubber is fully cured. Afterwards only the use of mechanical forces in combination with a swelling solvent or the use of high temperatures of approximately 100 °C will help to remove sealant residues.

Storage
The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label.
Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
