PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Sil-Poxy™ is a one component adhesive made specifically for bonding Smooth-On RTV moldmaking silicone rubbers to silicone
rubber and other substrates including some plastics (urethane), plasters/ceramics, fabrics, etc. Sil-Poxy™ will work with Smooth-On
tin or platinum cure moldmaking silicones and provides a strong, flexible bond between silicone parts with high elongation. Can be
colored with Silc-Pig™ silicone pigments. Cured adhesive resists weathering, moisture, UV and high temperatures. Sil-Poxy™ can be
used repairing torn silicone rubber molds. Other applications include bonding silicone for prosthetics and animatronics.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
PREPARATION...Safety - Use in a properly ventilated area (“room
Mixed Viscosity, Thick-paste size” ventilation). Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to
minimize contamination risk.
Specific Gravity, g/cc: 1.12 Store and use material at room temperature (73°F/23°C). This product has
a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.
Working Time: 5 minutes (73°F/23°C)
A clean, dry surface is essential for successful adhesive bonding. If possible,
Cure time: 12 minutes (73°F/23°C) abrade surface and follow with solvent wipe before applying.
Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application
Color: Translucent to determine suitability for your project is recommended if performance
of this material is in question.
Shore A Hardness: 40
DISPENSING & APPLYING...
Tensile Strength, psi: 750
Dispensing - Squeeze tube, taking care not allow air to enter tube before
Elongation @ Break: 750% replacing cap. Unused product in tube exposed to air will cure quickly.

Tear Strength: 100 ppi


Applying - Apply adhesive to surface and mate parts. Material will begin
to cure in 15 minutes. Pieces can be handled after 1 hour. Full cure is at-
tained after 24 hours. Warmer temperatures (and higher humidity) will
