Addisil* 6101

Description
Addisil 6101, Momentive Performance Material's Silicone adhesive, is a one-component heat curable
silicone adhesive sealant which will bond to many substrates without a primer and which will cure rapidly at
elevated temperatures. This product has a very long working time at room temperature and will not cure
completely until exposed to elevated temperatures.
Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive is a black, thixotropic paste, which can be applied to vertical or overhead
surfaces.

Key Features and Benefits

Product Safety, Handling and Storage

CAUTION
Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive can generate flammable hydrogen gas upon contact with acidic, basic, or
oxidizing materials. Such contact should be avoided.

Customers should review the latest Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and label for product safety information, safe
handling instructions, personal protective equipment if necessary, emergency service contact information,
and any special storage conditions required for safety. Momentive Performance Materials (MPM) maintains
an around-the-clock emergency service for its products. SDS are available at www.momentive.com or, upon
request, from any MPM representative. For product storage and handling procedures to maintain the product
quality within our stated specifications, please review Certificates of Analysis, which are available in the
Order Center. Use of other materials in conjunction with MPM products (for example, primers) may require
additional precautions. Please review and follow the safety information provided by the manufacturer of such
other materials.

Processing Recommendations
Compatibility
Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive will cure in contact with most clean, dry surfaces. However, certain materials,
such as butyl and chlorinated rubber, sulfur-containing materials, amines, and certain metal soap cured RTV
silicone rubber compounds can cause cure inhibition. Cure inhibition is characterized by a gummy
appearance of Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive at the interface between the adhesive and the substrate to be
bonded. It is recommended that a sample patch test be performed with Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive to
determine substrate compatibility.

Surface Preparation
The adhesive performance of any polymer system is highly dependent upon proper surface preparation. In
order to maximize the adhesion of Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive and minimize the potential for cure
inhibition, all parts should be as clean and dry as possible prior to the application of the adhesive.

Addisil* 6101

Addisil 6101 silicone adhesives offer outstanding adhesioncharacteristicsto a wide variety of different
substrates without the needof a primer.For difficult-to-bond-to substrates, or where more
aggressivechemical adhesion is desired, using SS4155 silicone primer,availablefrom Momentive
performance materials, may enhance the adhesion. Toapply theprimer, thoroughly clean the surface and let
dry. Then apply auniform film (0.01-0.02 mm) of SS4155 silicone primer and allow theprimer to air-dry for one
hour or more.

Curing
Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive requires the use of elevatedtemperatures in order to achieve full cure (See
Figure 1 below).

Cure Time vs Temperature

Temperature Addisil 6101

125°C <10 minutes
150°C <5 minutes
175°C <2 minutes
200°C 30 seconds

The actual cure time is affected by such things as cross-sectionalthickness of the Addisil 6101 silicone
adhesive, heat capacityof the overall assembly and efficiency and type of oven used(i.e. convection, infrared).

Limitations
Customers must evaluate Momentive Performance Materials products and make their own determination as
to fitness of use in their particular applications.

Availability
Addisil 6101 silicone adhesive is available in 200 kg drums, 20 kg pails and 310 ml cartridges.
