Frequently asked questions about Silbione CAF 72589
Practical application and design questions — answered by SILITECH.
Silbione CAF 72589: Food-grade silicone sealant for food contact applications. Main applications include bakery molds, confectionery applications, and sausage and meat products.
Silbione-CAF products are tested according to current food regulations (BGA, FDA, EU) and approved for direct food contact. They are used in industrial bakeries (baking trays, baking molds), confectioneries (sweetware molds), and the sausage industry (conveyor belts, molds). Before use, check the current TDS and SDS for compliance with your specific application.
Silbione CAF 72589 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 consultation with 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).
