Product Spotlight

The CHEMITAC 7D line is a thermoreactive adhesive, ready for use, for bonding silicone elastomers (VMQ) with steel, aluminum, aramid, textile fibers and glass by a vulcanization process. The textile fibers can be:  Cellulose, polyamide, polyester, and aramid.

This adhesive is also used to replace the grit blasting process by preparing treated surfaces for bonding, thus preserving the part’s original corrosion resistance. Surfaces that benefit are: Phosphate steel, galvanized, chromate conversion treated stainless steel, and ceramic. After the surface is coated with CHEMITAC 7D, a top-layer adhesive can be chosen based on the desired rubber compound to be used.

  • Ready to use solution
  • Chemical and corrosion resistance benefits
  • Cost savings by eliminating grit-blasting process
  • Proven track-record for bonding silicone elastomers (VMQ) to metals, plastics, and textile fibers
