Flow Properties
The difference between flowing (self-levelling) and non-flowing silicones is determined by their viscosity. Lower viscosity products tend to have better flow properties and are useful in hard to reach applications. Non flowable silicones are thicker, but are ideal for vertical applications where you do not want the silicone to run.
In 1980, Silmid began trading as a supplier of silicone products into the aviation market. Since then, our portfolio has extended to a number of other chemistries, but silicones still make up a large part of our business.
Silicone products come in all sorts of colours, sizes and varieties, but to find the right product can sometimes be difficult. The below guide gives a quick illustration of the questions you should ask before selecting a product.
