Product Information

Like any other material on the face of the planet, RTV silicone has some pros and cons associated with it. Let’s have a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of using RTV silicone so you can establish whether or not this substance is what you would like to use the next time you need something to be adhered to or sealed.

For certain applications, a rubber, paper, cork, or metallic gasket might no longer be produced, in which case do your research to find out which silicone sealant and application strategy is best. a b Hans-Heinrich Moretto, Manfred Schulze, Gebhard Wagner (2005) "Silicones" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. doi: 10.1002/14356007.a24_057 Eye protection if you're applying it in tight spaces or underneath the car—nobody likes dirt falling in their eyes while carefully attaching an oil pan to their car's engine, or accidentally getting brake cleaner in your eye RTV silicone is commonplace in industrial settings. It can be used for a number of applications, including the lubrication of machine parts, the gluing together of product components, the adhesion of signage to surfaces, and even as a sealant for machine parts or any other application in which a firm, custom-made seal may be needed. Adhesive sealants are extremely versatile. They cure to a tough, durable silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. RTV102, RTV103, RTV108andRTV109RTV silicone sealant is easy to work with and can easily fit in a number of containers. This is part of the reason that it can either be applied manually or it can be squeezed out of a long tube using a silicone applicator. RTV silicone sealant also has a distinct almost pungent smell that makes it easily identifiable in virtually any environment. RTV silicone is versatile, easy to use, readily available, and inexpensive, and you can pretty much use it on all common surfaces. RTV silicone has many uses, and you’d be hard-pressed to find any industry that doesn’t rely on this material in one way or another. Have you ever found yourself wondering about RTV silicone? After all, what does RTV stand for to begin with? RTV stands for room temperature vulcanizing and perfectly encapsulates how this silicone product transforms once it begins to interact with moisture. The chemical properties of RTV sealant are pretty much the same as we mentioned previously. RTV is pretty durable when put up against everyday forces, it isn’t super viscous, doesn’t absorb moisture when dry, and isn’t really reactive with any other chemicals. Again, this makes it the ideal adhesive and sealant.

Two-part RTV silicone is effectively the same as one-part RTV silicone, with the only real difference being that while one-part RTV uses moisture in the air to catalyze, two-part RTV uses moisture in its second part to do so.These sealants are standard strength paste consistency products which can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces, where pourable/self-leveling sealants are not practical.

If there were one industry in which silicone was indispensable, it would have to be the medical industry. Silicone isn’t only used to augment one’s physical appearance, it can also be used to aid in absorption and reduce the risk of bacterial infections by being easy to sanitize. Silicone can also be used to create molds and parts of prostheses.Aside from being resistant to the effects of chemicals and UV light, RTV silicone is also pretty tough. Being resistant to the effects of impact and abrasion, many materials are coated with RTV silicone to increase their ability to absorb large amounts of force without compromising their structural integrity.
