Description DOWSIL 7092 High Green Strength Adhesive and Sealant is a neutral curing one part
silicone sealant which provides immediate Green Strength directly after application.

How To Use Substrate Preparation

All surfaces must be clean and dry. Degrease and wash off any contaminants that could
impair adhesion. Suitable solvents include isopropyl alcohol, acetone or methyl ethyl
ketone, heptane. Good unprimed adhesion may be obtained on a variety of substrates,
including steel, alumini aluminum, glass and certain plastics. Substrates to which good
adhesion is normally not obtained include PTFE, polyethylene, polypropylene and related
materials.

For maximum adhesion, the use of DOWSIL™ 1200 OS Primer is recommended. After
solvent cleaning apply a thin coat of DOWSIL 1200 OS Primer by dipping, brushing or
spraying. Allow primer to dry for 15 to 90 minutes at room temperature and a relative
humidity of 50% or higher.

How To Use How To Apply
(Cont.) Apply a bead of DOWSIL 7092 High Green Strength Adhesive and Sealant (see Handling
Precautions) to one of the prepared surfaces, then quickly cover with the other substrate to
be bonded.

On exposure to moisture, the freshly applied material will "skin-over" in about 15–25
minutes at room temperature and 50% relative humidity. Any tooling should be completed
before this skin forms. The surface is easily tooled with a spatula. High humidity level and
higher temperatures accelerate the cure process and lead to earlier skin formation.

Green Strength DOWSIL 7092 High Green Strength Adhesive and Sealant provides immediate Green
Strength directly after application. The property of instant Green Strength can eliminate
mechanical fixing or shorten the handling time of bonded parts.

The immediate Green Strength is about 3 times higher in lap shear assemblies than
standard sealant which gives additional safety during the production and assembly process
(see Figure 1).

Cure Time
After skin formation, cure continues inward from the surface. In 24 hours (at room
temperature and 50% relative humidity) DOWSIL 7092 High Green Strength Adhesive and
Sealant will cure to a depth of about 2 mm. Very deep sections, especially when access to
atmospheric moisture is restricted, will take longer to cure completely. Cure time is extended
at lower humidity levels. It is extended at lower humidity levels and accelerated at higher
levels, respectively (see Table 1 below).

Table 1

Condition Rel. Cure Speed

23°C, 50% R.H. 100%
15°C, 40% R.H. 70%
30°C, 60% R.H. 135%
35°C, 70% R.H 168%

Before handling and packaging bonded components, users are advised to wait a sufficiently
long time to ensure that the integrity of the adhesive seal is not affected. This will depend on
many factors and should be determined by the user for each specific application.

Handling When using solvents avoid contact with skin and eyes, heat, sparks and open flames.
Precautions Always provide adequate ventilation. Obtain and follow handling precautions from the
solvent supplier.
