SS-303 Product Description
Product Description
SS-303 is a fast curing silicone RTV adhesive rubber developed for applications
requiring adhesion to EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber)
SS-303 is a 1-Part silicone that when applied to the substrate allows handling
of the bonded assembly within an hour. When cured, the elastomer resists weathering,
ozone, moisture, UV and high temperatures. SS-303 works well in manual and
automatic dispensing equipment.

Method of Application
Dispense sealant onto part and mate parts. Be sure not to squeeze all of the
product out of flange assembly. Allow to cure.
Curing
Cure speed can be accelerated with increased humidity to very rapid cures
exhibiting surprisingly fast adhesion.
Typical utilization involves dispensing in open air and ambient humidity to
result in a high strength adhesive rubber.
Chemical cure system
Oxime cure system
Packaging
SS-303 EPDM adhesive is available in 10.3 oz. cartridges, 50 lb. pails and 500 lb. drums.
This product is also available in customer defined packaging sizes, upon request.
Solids
96% solids
Adhesion
Primerless adhesion to EPDM rubber
Limitations
Do not use product on head gaskets or fuel immersion applications. Allow to
fully cure before putting assembly into service. Ensure enough product remains
between flanges to be effective in an assembly.
Handling and safety
For maximum shelf life, keep containers sealed when not in use. Keep out of
the reach of children. Uncured sealant irritates eyes and skin. Refer to MSDS.
Shelf-life
Sealed containers are guaranteed for 1 year from the ship date when stored
in a cool dry area below 70 F.
Applicable standards
Conforms to GM 9985675 and GM low volatility requirements.
