Silicone Rubber Adhesion Promoters for PET, PC & PA Bonding Crosile® 6296 & 6297 — Engineered for Stronger, Simpler Silicone Bonding The Challenge: Reliable Silicone Bonding to Plastics Bonding silicone rubber to polar materials like polycarbonate (PC) and polyester (PET) has long been one of the most demanding challenges in precision manufacturing. Traditional silicone rubber primer solutions add extra steps, increase process complexity, and often deliver inconsistent results. What if you could skip the primer — and get better adhesion? That's exactly what Crosile® 6296 and 6297 deliver. The Solution: Substrate-Specific Silicone Adhesion Promoters Crosile® silicone rubber adhesion promoters are designed to match specific substrates at the molecular level. No more one-size-fits-all compromises. Each Crosile® product is purpose-built for its target substrate. Product Designed For What Makes It Different Crosile® 6296 PET / Polyester Epoxy + hydrogen-containing groups penetrate PET surfaces for strong interfacial bonding Crosile® 6297 PC / Polycarbonate Epoxy + phenyl groups deliver durable adhesion with superior thermal stability 6296 + 6297 (1:1 mix) PA / Polyamide Combined formulation extends bonding capability to polyamide substrates Crosile® 6296: Your Solution for PET Bonding When your application requires silicone rubber to PET bonding, Crosile® 6296 delivers. Why it works: Epoxy functional groups chemically bond with the ester groups on polyester surfaces Hydrogen-containing groups crosslink directly with platinum cured silicone systems Low viscosity (7–11 mPa·s) ensures fast, even coverage — ideal for high-speed coating lines Where it's used: Flexible circuit board encapsulation Electronic label lamination Display frame bonding Crosile® 6297: Your Solution for Polycarbonate Bonding For demanding polycarbonate bonding applications, Crosile® 6297 is engineered to perform. Why it works: Epoxy groups anchor firmly to carbonate groups on PC surfaces Phenyl groups add thermal stability and resist degradation over time Higher viscosity (150–350 mPa·s) prevents sagging and ensures uniform coverage Where it's used: Automotive headlight sealing Optical lens assembly Smart wearable structural bonding Why Switch from Traditional Silicone Primers? Crosile® isn't a primer — it's an adhesion promoter additive that goes directly into your silicone formulation. That means: Traditional Primer Process Crosile® Process Apply primer to substrate Skip this step Wait for primer to dry Skip this step Apply silicone Add Crosile® directly to silicone (0.6%–1.4%) Hope for consistent coverage Achieve uniform molecular-level bonding The result? Fewer process steps Faster cycle times More consistent quality Over 80% improvement in peel strength (ASTM D903) Built for Platinum-Cure Silicone Systems Worried about catalyst compatibility? Crosile® is desig...
