Elastic adhesive is flame-retardant

Paul Boughton
Threebond is launching a flame-retardant version of its established TB1530 series single-component, moisture-curing elastic adhesives. The TB1537 is certified to UL94 V-0 and is both phosphorous- and halogen-free. This makes it of interest in electronics/electrical applications such as bonding of inverters/converters onto substrates, motor coils, sensor potting and sealing of battery packs for laptops.

The main composition of the TB1537 is a silyl-radical-based special polymer that cures rapidly with moisture in the air to achieve a fast skinning time and very low shrinkage. The cured adhesive is a tough elastomer providing good adhesion to many substrates. In addition, TB1537 can be used for applications such as sealing/potting where RTV silicones may otherwise be used. Since TB1537 does not contain low-molecular cyclic siloxanes, it does not cause electrical contact failures. TB1537 is available in white, black or grey.
