SS-3148 Product Description
Download PDF
SS-3148 is a selective adhesion, neutral curing silicone RTV adhesive rubber engineered for applications requiring fast development of physical properties. SS-3148 is a 1-Part silicone that when applied to aluminum and other metals in an assembly, allows
adhesion only to the aluminum and allows release from other substrates. SS-3148 works well in manual and automatic dispensing equipment.

Method of Application
Dispense sealant onto part and mate parts. Do not 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 with exposure to ambient humidity. This method of application
will result in a room temperature cured elastomer with very high adhesive
properties.
Solids
98% solids, contains no solvents
Adhesion
Primerless adhesion to target substrates
Service temperature
-65 to 260 C
Limitations
Do not use product on head gaskets, solvent 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.
Packaging
SS-3148 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.
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.
