Raychem adhesives Characteristics Table 15 and 16 include both thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermosets are curable two-part epoxies or crosslinked elastomers. Adhesive/Sealant Selection Table 17 Thermoplastics are hot-melt adhesives that flow when heated and set when cooled. They reflow when reheated SUBSTRATE PREPARATION 18 to simplify component repair. TE also manufactures Raychem products that include a thermoplastic adhesive INSTALLATION GUIDE 19 or a mastic-type sealant for water holdout applications. The sealants adhere to non-oily substrates and can be removed where re-entry is necessary. Selection Guide To determine the adhesive or sealant most compatible with a Raychem part, you must know the part’s product type. Use the Adhesive/Sealant Selection Table on page 17 to determine a Raychem part’s product type and the adhesive/sealant compatible with that type. Use the Adhesive/Sealant Product Characteristics Table (pages 15 and 16) to be sure the adhesive or sealant has the product characteristics your application requires. To use the Selection Table, follow these four steps: 1. Under “Substrate Category,” find the product material and product name/part number for the Raychem part. 2. Across the top of the table, find the part’s product type and dash number. 3. At the intersection of the substrate category (product material/name/part number) and the product type (by designated dash number) you will find the part number for the most compatible adhesive for the Raychem part. 4. See the Adhesive/Sealant Product Characteristics Table to verify the characteristics of the adhesive/ sealant you selected. Note: Users should independently evaluate the suitability of the product for their application. Before ordering, check with TE for most current data.
