Shin-Etsu KE-44 Flowable Oxime RTV Silicone Adhesive

Description

Shin-Etsu KE-44 is a one-component, self-leveling oxime-cure RTV silicone adhesive for sealing and coating electronics, gasketing assemblies, and bonding parts that need a durable elastomer after room-temperature cure. It bonds to metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics without a primer in many applications and stays low odor and non-corrosive during cure.

Shin-Etsu KE-44 Benefits

• Self-leveling body helps the material flow around components and into narrow sealing paths.
• One-component packaging keeps dispensing simple for bench work, repair stock, and production cells.
• Neutral oxime cure supports electronics and metal assemblies that should avoid corrosive byproducts.
• Good adhesion to metals, plastics, glass, and ceramics reduces the need for multiple sealant types.
• Electrical properties make it useful for sealing and protecting components in electronic assemblies.

Buyers often use this grade for form-in-place gasketing, connector sealing, backfilling, flow coating, and light adhesive hold-down of delicate components. The published product data lists 70 Pa.s viscosity, 40 minute tack-free time, Shore A 25 hardness, 2.00 MPa tensile strength, and 300 percent elongation after cure.

Common Applications for Shin-Etsu KE-44

• Flow coating and sealing over electronic parts and small housings.
• Form-in-place gasketing on covers, enclosures, and inspection panels.
• Connector back-fill and moisture sealing on electrical assemblies.
• Bonding and cushioning glass, ceramic, and plastic parts in mixed-material builds.
