FAQs
What is DOWSIL SE 1700 used for?
It is a two-part, heat-cure silicone adhesive with high tensile strength, used primarily for sealing ceramic condensers, sealing PCB components, and bonding the key pad of a PC. Its non-flowing consistency and strong bonds suit precise electronics sealing and bonding tasks.
What does 'non-flowing' mean for this adhesive?
Non-flowing means the dispensed material holds its shape rather than slumping or running, even on vertical or intricate surfaces. This helps maintain a defined bead where it is placed, which is valuable for controlled sealing and bonding on electronic components and assemblies.
How is SE 1700 cured?
SE 1700 is a heat-cure, two-part system, so the mixed material is cured by applying heat rather than at room temperature. Heat cure gives controlled, on-demand processing suited to production. Consult the technical data sheet for the recommended mix ratio and cure schedule for your components.
Why is high tensile strength important here?
High tensile strength means the cured adhesive resists being pulled apart, giving durable, reliable bonds in the finished assembly. For sealing condensers and bonding components, that strength helps the joint withstand handling and service stresses over the life of the device.
Does SE 1700 come as one part or two?
It is a two-part material supplied as a 1.1 kg kit, so the two components must be combined per the manufacturer's instructions before heat curing. Follow the recommended mixing and cure procedure, and review the Safety Data Sheet before handling and production use.
