RTV Low-Viscosity Silicone Foam | DOW

Dow

DOWSIL™ EF-6525

Product Description:

DOWSIL™  EF-6525 RTV Low Viscosity Silicone Foam is a two-component low-density liquid elastomer that cures into a foamed elastomer.  Part A and Part B have a 1:1 mix ratio to expand into a dispensable material for encapsulation of intricate electrical components. Able to cure at room temperature, this material can have a reduced cure time and increased throughput when heat is applied. The DOWSIL™ EF-6525 RTV Low Viscosity Silicone Foam is stable over a wide temperature range and is suitable for applications where stress relief is required.
