Acetal plasticized silicone curing system: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Premature curing and high viscosity during application lead to material waste and equipment downtime. These innovations engineer the polymer backbone and moisture-reactive sites to ensure shelf stability while maintaining high mechanical strength upon activation.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Acetal plasticized silicone curing system?

Plasticizer migration and exudation

(15)evidences

Uncontrolled reaction with ambient humidity leads to poor shelf life and inconsistent mechanical properties. Preventing early crosslinking ensures storage stability and predictable bonding strength.

Inadequate working time window

(2)evidences

Uncontrolled polymerization during storage and processing leads to material hardening and equipment clogging. Maintaining consistent flow and shelf life ensures reliable industrial application.
