Silicone adhesives and coatings have been used for over five decades because of their ability to retain elasticity and low modulus over a broad temperature range, thus reducing shear stress during thermal cycling. These properties provide excellent utility in space and terrestrial environments, where spacecrafts and sensitive electronics are repeatedly exposed to these extreme temperatures.
Ultra Low OutgassingTM silicones are also excellent for reducing the risk of contamination to increase the operation life in sensitive electronics and optical applications.
