Elkem (Bluestar Silicones) CAF® 1 Silicone Rubber
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone; Silicone Rubber
Material Notes:	Description: CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid are one component room temperature curing silicone elastomers: Acetic. Variable rheology, from self-leveling to fluid, from CAF 1 to CAF 1 Extra Fluid. Red. Applications: CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid are mainly used in sealing and bonding applications in which low viscosity is required. CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid are notably used for: Sealing of electrical heating elements (CAF 1 Extra Fluid). Engine sealing in automotive after sales service (CAF 1). General maintenance in the aeronautics industry (CAF 1). Advantages: CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid cure quickly and have very good resistance to high temperature. CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid therefore ensure perfect sealing and bonding between different materials subject to thermal strain. CAF 1 and CAF 1 Extra Fluid also have high resistance to chemical agents. Information provided by Bluestar Silicones
