Bonded Seals
Originally designed to replace copper washers in higher pressure systems, bonded seals are simple in construction but very reliable. Made up from an elastomeric ring bonded to a metal form (either circular, square or rectangle in shape); the metal disc resists the bursting forces ...
Cure Inhibition with Addition Silicones
Addition cure silicones will bond to most substrates when heated to >120⁰C (hydrolisation); however certain products on the surface of the substrate could inhibit the cure of the silicone or poison it, resulting in a non-cure.
Addition cure silicone ...

Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of how resistant a fluid is when attempts are made to move through it. A fluid with low viscosity of said to be 'thin', whilst a high viscosity is said the be 'thick' and more viscous. Units: mPa.s = Millipascal seconds Conversion = mPa.s = cPs = cSt x ...
