ELKEM CAF 7037 MF is a low-viscosity, neutral-curing 1K silicone sealant (oxime, MEKO-free, brick red) for coating and separation applications.
The Elkem CAF range comprises one-component (1K), neutral (oxime) curing silicone sealants — low-odor, non-corrosive, with excellent dielectric properties. CAF 7037 MF is tailored to specific industrial applications — the most important properties and areas of application are listed below.
CAF 7037 MF combines neutral crosslinking (oxime) with a low viscosity of 50,000 mPa·s — flows well into complex geometries, is non-corrosive and MEKO-free. Proven for the continuous coating of conveyor belts and electric motor insulation.

Frequently asked questions about CAF 7037 MF
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
ELKEM CAF 7037 MF: Low-viscosity, neutral-curing, one-component silicone sealant (oxime, MEKO-free, brick red) for coating and separation applications. Main applications include conveyor belt coating, electric motor insulation, and iron soleplates.
Oxime crosslinking is a neutral, one-component crosslinking chemistry that crosslinks through atmospheric moisture and releases only small amounts of oxime. Advantages include low odor in the workplace, non-corrosive to metals, excellent dielectric properties, and thermal stability—making it ideal for use in aerospace maintenance and electronic bonding with corrosion-sensitive components. CAF 7037 MF is also MEKO-free (methyl ethyl ketoxime-free) and therefore REACH compliant without MEKO labeling.
CAF 7037 MF 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).
