Silicone Sealant and Adhesive Applications Part 2 Course
This course is Part 2 in the Silicone Sealant series. It focuses on the cure mechanisms for one and two-component systems. Curing chemistries such as moisture, radiation curing materials that cure with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light or a stream of electrons (EB), or pressure sensitive versions that adhere to surfaces with very slight contact pressure are discussed.
Learning Objectives
- Setting Mechanisms & Silicone Cure Chemistries
- Physical vs Chemical Setting
- Technology & Silicone Applications
- What to Expect?
Dr. Andreas T. Wolf, Consultant
Andreas T. Wolf currently works as an independent consultant in the sealants and adhesives area. He graduated in Physical Chemistry at Frankfurt university in 1974 and received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Chemistry from Düsseldorf university in 1978. In 2015, he retired from Dow Corning (now: Dow Silicones) as Chief Scientist of the Global High-Performance Building Solutions business. He has served as editor of ten books, coauthored one book on sealants in construction, has authored over 200 technical papers, and chaired multiple international scientific symposia.
