CAF 99 AXAD is a 2K-activated silicone (acetic, black, thixotropic) — cross-links quickly even in closed systems and thick layers.
The Elkem CAF series comprises two-component (2K) silicone systems with activator — they cure even in closed gaps and thick layers, without relying on humidity. CAF 99 AXAD is tailored to specific industrial applications — the most important properties and areas of application are listed below.
Unlike 1K silicones, CAF 99 AXAD also cross-links in closed systems and with thick layers — the right choice when humidity cannot penetrate to the adhesive seam.

Frequently asked questions about CAF 99 AXAD
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
CAF 99 AXAD: 2K-activated silicone (acetic, black, thixotropic) — cures quickly even in closed systems and thick layers. Main applications include glass-ceramic cooktops, oven doors and viewing windows, and ship portholes.
One-component silicones cure through atmospheric moisture—they cannot fully cure where moisture cannot reach (closed gaps, thick layers, enclosed joints). Two-component systems like CAF 99 AXAD cure via an activator and do not require atmospheric moisture—the right choice when the adhesive joint is enclosed or the layer thickness is large (e.g., glass-ceramic bonding, ship portholes, oven doors).
CAF 99 AXAD adheres without primer to glass, ceramics, many metals (stainless steel, aluminum, copper in neutral variants), and numerous engineering plastics. Adhesion is not possible to PE, PP, PTFE, and silicone oils—these substrates are fundamentally incompatible with silicone. If in doubt, we recommend a preliminary test or consulting SILITECH regarding the specific material pairing.
Prepare the substrate to be clean, grease-free, and dry. Apply the sealant evenly from the cartridge or container—refer to the TDS for skin formation and curing times. Store in the unopened original container at 5 to 30 °C, protected from sunlight. Use opened containers promptly—for Acetic systems, reseal tightly immediately after opening. Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
In the comparison table above, you will find related CAF products with adapted properties—different color, different crosslinking system (acetic vs. neutral), or different mechanical properties. If you are unsure about the optimal choice, we would be happy to advise you—contact SILITECH with your requirements (substrate pairing, temperature, corrosion requirements, appearance).
