Silicone defoamer (Momentive)

Momentive's "TSE3925" is a one-component, moisture-curing, low-volatility silicone adhesive. It cures at room temperature by reacting with moisture in the air, forming a silicone rubber that combines flexibility and elasticity. The product has a non-flowing paste-like consistency, making it resistant to dripping after application. It ensures minimal displacement during application on vertical surfaces, inclined surfaces, and uneven areas, providing stable workability. The tack-free time is approximately 5 minutes at 23°C, demonstrating excellent fast-curing properties that contribute to shortening processes in manufacturing lines and on-site work. In terms of adhesion performance, it exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including metals, various plastics, glass, and ceramics, without the need for a primer. Additionally, the content of low molecular weight siloxanes is extremely low (0.028 wt%), making it safe for use in sensitive electronic components and sensor areas where siloxane gas may cause contact failure or contamination.

Silicone adhesives and potting compounds are excellent in heat resistance, electrical insulation, and flexibility, making them widely adopted in various fields such as electronics, automotive, and medical devices. However, there are many types, including "condensation type (moisture curing)," "addition type (thermosetting, UV curing)," and "UV curing type," each with significantly different curing mechanisms and characteristics. For the purchasing department, the common challenge is "what criteria to use for selection," while for the technical department, it is "whether it fits the company's processes." We will systematically organize the main types of silicone, explaining their characteristics, advantages, and points to note. 1: Basic structure and characteristics of silicone materials 2: Condensation type (moisture curing) silicone 3: Addition type silicone (thermosetting, UV curing) 4: Selection points and comparisons by type Summary For more details, please visit the website of Adachi New Industry Co., Ltd.

Momentive's "SnapSil* TN3305" is a non-corrosive, fast-drying, one-component, room-temperature curing liquid silicone adhesive and sealant with reduced low molecular siloxanes. This silicone material has been developed for use in harsh environments where heat, vibration, and stress fluctuations are critical, such as in electronic components, power modules, and automotive devices. With high elongation at break and moderate viscosity characteristics, it achieves both conformity to complex shapes and workability. Additionally, it has obtained UL certification, ensuring it can be safely used in applications where safety and reliability are paramount. For more information, please visit our website.

Foam in manufacturing sites is not just a cosmetic issue. - Decreased production efficiency - Filling defects and overflow - Quality variation (pinholes and unevenness) - Sensor false detection can lead to serious problems. Especially in recent automated and smart factory environments, foam significantly affects process stability as "invisible noise." Momentive's silicone defoamers provide high defoaming effectiveness, heat resistance, and chemical stability with minimal addition, and are used across a wide range of fields including food, chemicals, paints, and wastewater. However, what is important is not "which defoamer to use," but "how to choose one." 1. Initial judgment: "Industrial" or "Food grade" 2. Selection logic considering three types for "Industrial" 3. Selection logic considering four types for "Food grade" 4. Common mistakes (applicable to both industrial and food) 5.
