CHO-BOND®
Conductive Caulks and Sealants |
| |
CHO-BOND caulks and sealants are electrically
conductive epoxy, silicone and acrylic resins. Their
purpose is to provide effective EMI/EMP shielding and
sealing, filling larger gaps than do adhesives. Caulks
are available as one-component, non-hardening systems
or two-component, curing systems. Some CHO-BOND caulks
have excellent oxide layer bite-thru. They can be dispensed
with conventional caulking guns.
Rigid Epoxies
CHO-BOND
two-component epoxy caulks are filled with silver-plated-copper.
They provide excellent adhesion to dissimilar substrates.
These
epoxy systems can be used in lap or butt joint applications,
but should be used only if the seam will not be broken.
CHO-BOND 360-208 epoxy does not require contact pressure
during cure.
Silicones
and Flexible Polyisobutylenes
One-component, non-hardening sealants
are formulated to shield or seal joints and seams likely
to be disassembled or subject to vibration or warping.
A key feature is their capacity to remain adherent without
cracking or pulling away from the surface. These CHO-BOND
sealants are silver-plated-copper-filled silicone or
polyisobutylene filled with silver-plated-glass, silver-plated-copper,
or silver-plated-aluminum. Metallic surfaces may require
priming with CHO-BOND primer to promote better adhesion
of the silicone caulks. CHO-BOND 1038 and CHO-BOND 1075
compounds may be used as fillet seals. All other polyisobutylene
and silicone materials require contact pressure to develop
their electrical properties.
Corrosion-Resistant
Sealants
Chomerics pioneered
silver-plated-aluminum particle technology to
minimize the galvanic corrosion effects of conductive
elastomer gaskets. This highly conductive filler is
also used in our CHO-BOND 1075 sealant. The Ag/Al particle
will provide a more compatible system for aluminum flanges.
Extensive testing conducted at Chomerics
and by the USAF has shown reduced corrosion at joints
while EMI shielding performance is maximized. Standard
specifications have been developed for these Ag/Al filled
silicone sealants. Additional testing includes: corrosion-resistance
to MIL-STD-810 salt fog; long-term effects on both physical
and electrical properties; paintability; lightning survivability;
and NASA outgassing. Technical bulletins for these products
are available on request.
