Description
Silicone primer sold in a pint bottle for shops that bond, encapsulate, or pot with silicone elastomers and need consistent adhesion to glass, metal, ceramic, and many plastics. CHT QSIL Primer #5 is a clear, low-viscosity adhesion promoter that wipes or brushes onto a clean substrate, flashes off at room temperature, and leaves a reactive surface that improves the bond between a silicone RTV or addition-cure rubber and an otherwise difficult substrate.
Silicone Primer Features
- Clear, low-viscosity formula for thin even films by brush or wipe
- Improves adhesion of CHT QSIL silicone rubbers to glass, metal, ceramic, and many plastics
- Pint (16 fl oz) bottle for shop-scale priming work and short production runs
- Compatible with one-part and two-part silicone elastomer systems
- Air dries at room temperature before silicone application, no oven required
Surface preparation is the largest single driver of silicone bond reliability. CHT recommends thoroughly cleaning the substrate, applying Primer #5 as a thin uniform coat, and allowing complete flash-off before silicone placement. Test the primer in your own process for the specific elastomer grade, substrate, and service environment. Industrial users should review the CHT technical data sheet for handling, ventilation, storage, and shelf life guidance before placing the system into production.
Silicone Primer Applications
- Adhesion promotion for silicone potting and encapsulation in electronics
- Bonding silicone gaskets and seals to metal frames and equipment housings
- Glass-to-elastomer assembly in lighting, displays, and instrumentation
- Medical and industrial device assembly where bond reliability matters
- Prototyping and short-run silicone casting against difficult substrates
- Field repairs of silicone seals where adhesion promotion is needed
