Chemlok 608 Adhesive
One-coat adhesive for bonding silicone elastomers.
Chemlok 608 is a single-component adhesive designed to create strong bonds between unvulcanized silicone elastomers and various rigid substrates. Its formulation provides excellent adhesion to a wide range of commercially available silicone compounds, many of which require a post-cure process for optimal bond strength. The adhesive is designed for ease of use and economic application, requiring only a single coat to achieve a robust bond. It demonstrates exceptional resistance to various environmental conditions.

Shelf Life/Storage
Shelf life is two years from date of shipment when stored by the recipient at 21-27 C (70-80 F) in original, unopened container.Tightly close the container when not in use to prevent solvent evaporation and possible moisture contamination. Do not return unused or diluted adhesive to original container. Take care to avoid moisture contamination indicated by a milky white appearance.
