Adhesives & Coatings

ACC Silicones manufacture a range of finished products and additives used in the formulating of various adhesives and coatings

Crosslinkers and adhesion promoters

Organofunctional silanes are used as crosslinkers to chemically bond organic with inorganic compounds. This can be used to form integral bonds between the resin/polymer system and fillers or pigments. They can also be used to improve the adhesion between the substrate and the adhesive or coating.

Very small percentages of the silane can produce huge improvements in the overall performance.

Silanes can be used in the following

• Most adhesive systems
• 1 or 2 Pack
• Waterbased, solvented or solvent free
• Paints
• Surface treatments
• Performance coatings

Please refer to our Silane pages for more information

Primers

ACC Silicones formulate and manufacture a range of primers specifically for use with silicone adhesive and elastomers. 

Please refer to our primer pages for more information

Coatings

ACC manufacture a number of silicone based materials for use as coatings, some of these materials will cure at room temperature while others require the use of heat

Applications include

• Conformal coatings for electronic PCB protection
• Textile coatings
• Belt coatings

Silicone Adhesives

The ACC range of silicone adhesives use a wide range of chemistries to produce RTV's (room temperature vulcanising) and heat cured 1- parts.  They are used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial and the construction industries.
