HIGH TEMPERATURE ADHESIVES & POTTING COMPOUNDS
J.A. CRAWFORD CO. is the technical representative and stocking distributor for High Temperature Adhesives & Potting Compounds manufactured by SAUEREISEN.SAUEREISEN’s inorganic materials exhibit unique physical properties [click here for PDF] engineered to meet specific requirements for bonding ceramic, metal and glass. These specialty cements withstand temperatures to 3000°F (1649°C), making them ideal for the most challenging assembly, encapsulation and sealing applications.
Typical Applications include:
• Heating elements
• Rheostat resistors
• Temperature probes
• Explosion proof conduits
• Hot surface/automatic gas igniters
• High intensity lamps/light bulbs
• Molten metal sample cups
• Band heaters
• Thermocouples
• Gas fired and electric radiant heaters
Categories of Specialty Cements:
used for thin film bonding and coating applications from 2 to 125 mils. Because the curing mechanism involves the evaporation of water, working time is indefinite and final cure occurs between 18 and 24 hours. If a faster cure is desired, heat will accelerate the process. Great for assembly line applications.
used for potting, bonding and casting applications because they contain a catalyst and harden in a large mass or thickness. Cure time can be manipulated through the introduction of heat or energy to suite the need of the user.
used for casting or potting applications. Hydraulic set materials possess minimum shrinkage and withstand high temperatures. Curing is aided by a humid environment and commences within 24 hours. Precautions such as covering help to aid in curing by retaining moisture.
