Silicone adhesive ELASTOSIL® E43 N, transparent

Silicone adhesive ELASTOSIL® E43 N, transparent is a one-component silicone rubber, universally applicable for sealing, bonding and coating in all branches of industry, including the food industry.

• Recommended temperature range -50 °C to +180 °C
• UV and weathering resistant
• Thixotropic
• Compatible with foodstuffs
• Electrically insulating
• Condensation curing

ELASTOSIL® E43 N, transparent silicone adhesive has the same properties and characteristics as ELASTOSIL® E43, but thanks to a modified formulation it can be used even more widely in the food sector. The silicone adhesive is suitable for direct contact with food and fulfils the relevant guidelines of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Application:
Can be used for almost all sealing, bonding and coating applications. The applications of the material are correspondingly extensive and diverse in the various industries, e.g. automotive industry, mechanical engineering, industrial plants, electrical industry, textile industry, workshops, laboratories, food sector and in the do-it-yourself sector.
