    Shelf Life Details Shelf life is indicated by the “Use Before” date found on the product label., For best results, Dow Corning one-part products require cold storage at or below -5°C (23°F). Special precautions must be taken to prevent moisture from contacting these materials. Containers should be kept tightly closed with head space minimized. Partially filled containers should be purged with dry air or other gases, such as nitrogen., Check the product label for specific storage conditions., Shelf life is indicated by the “Use Before” date found on the product label.

  • Best Practices for Dow Dowsil JCR 6101 Encapsulant

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Surfaces should be clean and dry. Recommended cleaning methods include Dow OS Fluids, naphtha, mineral spirits, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or other suitable solvent. Rougher surfaces tend to promote adhesion of silicones to other surfaces.

    2. Application

      These products are also compatible with commercially available equipment and industry standard processes. These materials can be dispensed or molded depending on the product and application.

    3. Curing

      These products are also compatible with commercially available equipment and industry standard processes. These products can be dispensed or molded depending on the product and application. Dow OS Fluids are recommended to clean cured or uncured silicone residue from application equipment.

      Certain materials, chemicals, curing agents and plasticizers can inhibit the cure of addition cure adhesives. Most notable of these include: organotin and other organometallic compounds, silicone rubber containing organotin catalyst, sulfur, polysulfides, polysulfones or other sulfur containing materials, unsaturated hydrocarbon plasitcizers, and some solder flux residues. If a substrate or material is questionable with respect to potentially causing inhibition of cure, it is recommended that a small scale compatibility test be run to ascertain suitability in a given application. The presence of liquid or uncured product at the interface between the questionable substrate and the cured gel indicates incompatibility and inhibition of cure.

    4. Testing

      If a substrate or material is questionable with respect to potentially causing inhibition of cure, it is recommended that a small scale compatibility test be run to ascertain suitability in a given application. The presence of liquid or uncured product at the interface between the questionable substrate and the cured silicone indicates incompatibility and inhibition of cure.
