PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

USER BENEFITS

®

Loctite
Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants are soft,
creamy, paste-like, single component materials. The thixotropic
(non-flowing) characteristic of these materials make them easy
to apply to all surfaces including horizontal, vertical and
overhead. The products also exhibit sufficient surface to fixture
most small objects while cure is taking place.
When exposed to moisture in the air, these materials cure at
room temperature without the use of catalysts or primers. Cure
time is dependent upon thickness of the sealant, temperature
and humidity conditions. When cured these materials form
flexible (600% elongation), soft (27 Shore A Durometer), tough,
silicone rubbers for service at temperatures between - 95F and
+650F.

 Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants require no costly
mixing equipment (are ready-to-use).





Superflex products do not require electrical, thermal or
ultra-violet light sources to process or cure (cure at room
temperature). 



Superflex products function in most every temperature or
chemical environment now required by industry
specifications (a universal product selection). 
Superflex products, as cured silicone rubber, are safe,
non-toxic, non-dermatitic, flexible adhesives/sealants. 

CURING SPECIFICATIONS
In general, these materials will cure tack-free to touch, in 15 to
30 minutes. Allow at least 24 hours for full cure and
development of strength. The acetic acid (vinegar) odour will
disappear when the materials are fully cured. During cure,
confinement of the acetic acid fumes may cause mild surface
corrosion on some metals, such as copper, steel etc. Use with
adequate ventilation.
Since these materials depend upon reaction with moisture to
cure, speed of cure will be dependent upon temperature,
relative humidity, thickness of material and presence of
moisture. (See tables below for varied cure characteristics.

USE AND APPLICATION
Surface preparation

Loctite Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants will bond to
most clean, dry surfaces without extensive surface
preparation techniques. These surfaces include most metals,
glass, ceramics, silicone rubber and certain plastic products.
All surfaces, however must be clean. The use of Methyl Ethyl
Ketone (MEK) or Loctite Safety Solvent #755 is
recommended for easy and simple cleaning process. To
obtain maximum bond reliability, the following procedures are
recommended for the appropriate substrates.
Substrate
Steel (iron, cast iron)
Stainless Steel
Aluminium (light)
Copper

Surface Preparation
Rubbing with sand paper or abrasive
finishing (or sandblasting or shot-blasting)
Rubbing with sand paper or abrasive

abrasion with sandpaper.
Dulling with emery cloth, abrasive finishing
or sandblasting, followed by degreasing.
Surface Preparation

followed by thorough rinsing 

Substrate
Lead
Zinc
Galvanised surfaces
Painted surfaces
Glass (enamelled/
glazed surfaces,
porcelain, ceramic)
Commonly used
Light Abrasion, followed by
Thermoplastic &
degreasing with an inert solution.
Thermosetting Materials &
Organic Elastomers
Polyolefins (high density
Degreasing, followed by abrasive
polythene, polypropylene)
polishing or chemical treatment.
Polytretrafluoroethylene
De-flashing, followed by abrasive
(PTFE)
polishing.
Polythylene Glycol
De-flashing, followed by abrasive
(Terephthalate)
polishing.
Silicone Elastomers
Light abrasion, followed by degreasing
with inert solvent
*Degreasing is always necessary. The use of MEK (Methyl Ethyl
Ketone) or Loctite Safety Solvent #775 is recommended.
For example, a 0.5% aqueous solution of an anionic tensioactiveagent.

In all cases a preliminary check should be made to determine
satisfactory performance and bond strengths prior to
production applications.
Application techniques
Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants, supplied in the tube,
are easy to apply be hand squeezing at uniform pressure to
apply a desired amount of material.
The use of the Loctite Tube Wringer Item # 11727 is a super
applicator to assure both ease of application and complete
dispensing of the material from the tube.
The industrial caulker cartridge for larger volume applications
is used with a standard caulking gun.
When applying the material from a nozzled container, for
optimum adhesion and seal, the material must be applied by
pushing the product in the direction of use (forward) into the
surface. For bonding applications apply sealant to one surface
only and join surfaces to be bonded immediately. Excess
material should be removed immediately. To improve the
appearance of an uncured extruded bead (etc.) the simple use
of an “ice cube” will serve as an excellent doctor blade to give
that exceptional, professional finish.

Clean up and removal
Uncured Superflex Silicone Adhesive/Sealant should be cleaned
up immediately. Use of Loctite Safety Solvent #755 or methyl
ethyl ketone (MEK) is recommended.
Cured silicone rubber can be cut away with appropriate scrapers
or with the use of specially selected caustic industrial (paint)
strippers (including Loctite Chisel™ Gasket Remover 790) which
will dissolve the silicone rubber. Appropriate chemicals must be
sourced from the manufacturer of such chemical stripping agents.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a
sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidising materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS).
Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the surfaces
before bonding, it is important to check for compatibility of the
washing solution with the adhesive. In some cases these aqueous
washes can affect the cure and performance of the adhesive.

This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics
(particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of the
plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm
compatibility of the product with such substrates.
Directions for use
For best performance surfaces should be clean and free of grease.
Product should be applied to the bolt in sufficient quantity to fill all
engaged threads. This product performs best in thin bond gaps,
(0.05mm). Very large thread sizes may create large gaps which will
affect cure speed and strength. This product is designed to give
controlled friction, (torque/tension ratio), during assembly. In critical
tightening applications this ratio should be confirmed.

Storage
Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location, in unopened
containers at a temperature between 8°C to 28°C (46°F to 82°F)
unless otherwise labelled. Optimal storage is at the lower half of this
temperature range. To prevent contamination of unused product, do
not return any material to it’s original container. For further specific
shelf life information contact your local Technical Service Centre.

Data Ranges
The data contained herein may be reported as a typical value and/or
range (based on the mean value ±2 standard deviations). Values are
based on actual test data and are verified on a periodic basis.

Loctite 594

  • 1. Technical Data Product 593, 594, 595 July 1998 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION USER BENEFITS ® Loctite Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants are soft, creamy, paste-like, single component materials. The thixotropic (non-flowing) characteristic of these materials make them easy to apply to all surfaces including horizontal, vertical and overhead. The products also exhibit sufficient surface to fixture most small objects while cure is taking place. When exposed to moisture in the air, these materials cure at room temperature without the use of catalysts or primers. Cure time is dependent upon thickness of the sealant, temperature and humidity conditions. When cured these materials form flexible (600% elongation), soft (27 Shore A Durometer), tough, silicone rubbers for service at temperatures between - 95F and +650F.  Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants require no costly mixing equipment (are ready-to-use).    Superflex products do not require electrical, thermal or ultra-violet light sources to process or cure (cure at room temperature).   Superflex products function in most every temperature or chemical environment now required by industry specifications (a universal product selection).  Superflex products, as cured silicone rubber, are safe, non-toxic, non-dermatitic, flexible adhesives/sealants.   TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIAL Appearance #593 Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants will adhere to clean metal, glass, natural and synthetic fibres, ceramics, other silicone rubbers, painted surfaces and many plastic substrates.

Allow at least 24 hours for full cure and development of strength. The acetic acid (vinegar) odour will disappear when the materials are fully cured. During cure, confinement of the acetic acid fumes may cause mild surface corrosion on some metals, such as copper, steel etc. Use with adequate ventilation. Since these materials depend upon reaction with moisture to cure, speed of cure will be dependent upon temperature, relative humidity, thickness of material and presence of moisture.

In all cases a preliminary check should be made to determine satisfactory performance and bond strengths prior to production applications. Application techniques Superflex Silicone Adhesives/Sealants, supplied in the tube, are easy to apply be hand squeezing at uniform pressure to apply a desired amount of material. The use of the Loctite Tube Wringer Item # 11727 is a super applicator to assure both ease of application and complete dispensing of the material from the tube. The industrial caulker cartridge for larger volume applications is used with a standard caulking gun. When applying the material from a nozzled container, for optimum adhesion and seal, the material must be applied by pushing the product in the direction of use (forward) into the surface. For bonding applications apply sealant to one surface only and join surfaces to be bonded immediately. Excess material should be removed immediately. To improve the appearance of an uncured extruded bead (etc.) the simple use of an “ice cube” will serve as an excellent doctor blade to give that exceptional, professional finish. Clean up and removal Uncured Superflex Silicone Adhesive/Sealant should be cleaned up immediately. Use of Loctite Safety Solvent #755 or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is recommended. Cured silicone rubber can be cut away with appropriate scrapers or with the use of specially selected caustic industrial (paint) strippers (including Loctite Chisel™ Gasket Remover 790) which will dissolve the silicone rubber. Appropriate chemicals must be sourced from the manufacturer of such chemical stripping agents. GENERAL INFORMATION This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidising materials. For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). Where aqueous washing systems are used to clean the surfaces before bonding, it is important to check for compatibility of the washing solution with the adhesive. In some cases these aqueous washes can affect the cure and performance of the adhesive. This product is not normally recommended for use on plastics (particularly thermoplastic materials where stress cracking of the plastic could result). Users are recommended to confirm compatibility of the product with such substrates. Directions for use For best performance surfaces should be clean and free of grease. Product should be applied to the bolt in sufficient quantity to fill all engaged threads. This product performs best in thin bond gaps, (0.05mm). Very large thread sizes may create large gaps which will affect cure speed and strength. This product is designed to give controlled friction, (torque/tension ratio), during assembly. In critical tightening applications this ratio should be confirmed. Storage Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location, in unopened containers at a temperature between 8°C to 28°C (46°F to 82°F) unless otherwise labelled. Optimal storage is at the lower half of this temperature range. To prevent contamination of unused product, do not return any material to it’s original container.
