Since the silicone compounds are available as thixotropic pastes, or as self-leveling liquids, they lend themselves to a variety of application techniques which are easily adapted to speciality uses as well as to production line methods. As these materials are non-corrosive to copper and other sensitive metals they are gaining wide acceptance as preferred adhesives and sealants where delicate electronic devices are involved. They are used in sealing instrument cases, as environmental seals for sealing electronic devices, as terminal sealants, for potting electronic components and as high temperature sealants.
