Business Information

Shelf Life Details	Shelf life is indicated by the “Use By” date found on the product label. For best results, Dow Corning thermally conductive materials should be stored at or below the maximum specified storage temperature. Special precautions must be taken to prevent moisture from contacting these materials. Containers should be kept tightly closed and head or air space minimized. Partially filled containers should be purged with dry air or other gases, such as nitrogen. Any special storage and handling instructions will be printed on the product containers., Shelf life is indicated by the “Use By” date found on the product label.

Best Practices for Dow Dowsil 3-6651 Thermally Conductive Elastomer

*See Terms of Use Below
1. Mixing
  
  Upon standing, some filler may settle to the bottom of the liquid after several weeks. To ensure a uniform product mix, the material in each container should be thoroughly mixed prior to use. Two-part materials should be mixed in the proper ratio either by weight or volume. The presence of light-colored streaks or marbling indicates inadequate mixing.
2. Deairing/Degassing
  
  Automated airless dispense equipment can be used to reduce or avoid the need to de-air. If de-airing is required to reduce voids in the cured elastomer, consider a vacuum de-air schedule of > 8 inches Hg (or a residual pressure of 10–0 mm of Hg) for 10 minutes or until bubbling subsides.
3. Curing
  
  Addition-cure adhesives should be cured at 100°C (212°F) or above. The cure rate is rapidly accelerated with heat. Thin sections of less than mils may be cured in 15 minutes at 150°C (30°F). For thicker sections, a precure at 70°C (158°F) may be necessary to reduce voids in the elastomer. Length of precure will depend on section thickness and confinement of adhesive. It is recommended that 30 minutes at 70°C (158°F) be used as a starting point for determining necessary pre-cure time. Addition-curing materials contain all the ingredients needed for cure with no byproducts from the cure mechanism. Deep-section or confined cures are possible. Cure progresses evenly throughout the material. These adhesives generally have long working times.
  
  Cure reaction begins with the mixing process. Initially, cure is evidenced by a gradual increase in viscosity, followed by gelation and conversion to its final state. Pot life is defined as the time required for viscosity to double after Parts A and B (base and curing agent) are mixed.
