Silicone rubber bonding.The SCB ScB abbr. Latin Scientiae Baccalaureus (Bachelor of Science) (silicone customized bonding) system for the silicone rubber industry is said to offer improved bond strength and bond durability over the traditional bonding approaches of straight silane silane or silicon hydride Any of a series of inorganic compounds of silicon and hydrogen with covalent bonds and the general chemical formula SinH(2n + 2). addition and/or prime coating. The improved rubber-to-substrate bonds are maintained, even when SCB system compounds are exposed to harsh environments, such as repeated autoclave autoclave Vessel, usually of steel, able to withstand high temperatures and pressures. The chemical industry uses various types of autoclaves in manufacturing dyes and in other chemical reactions requiring high pressures. cycles. The SCB system is said to be a different approach to bonding silicone rubber to a substrate, and when tested per ASTM ASTM abbr. American Society for Testing and Materials D429, Method B, the bond strength for the SCB system is 1.2 to 2.5 times greater than the bond strength for the traditional approaches mentioned above, according to the manufacturer. The improved bond strength of the SCB system is said to be achieved without the use of a prime coat, and when tested to ASTM, a cohesive failure can be expected. The SCB system can be utilized to bond silicone rubber to a variety of substrates that include, but are not limited to, stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. , anodized aluminum, silicone and polychloroprene. SilCoTec Circle 21 on card |
