Introduction of RTV Silicone Rubber

RTV Silicone (Room Temperature Vulcanizing silicone) is a type of silicone rubber made from a two-component system (base plus curative; A+B) available in a hardness range of very soft to medium - usually from 15 Shore A to 40 Shore. RTV Silicones can be cured with either a platinum catalyst or a tin catalyst. Applications include low temperature overmolding, making molds for reproducing, and some optically clear grades have lens applications.

Applications of RTV Silicone Rubber

RTV Silicone Rubber will reproduce fine details and is suitable for a variety of industrial and art related applications including prototypes, furniture, sculpture and architectural elements. RTV Silicone Rubber can be used to cast materials including wax, gypsum, low melt alloys/metals and urethane, epoxy or polyester resins.

RTV Silicones industrial applications include aviation, aerospace, consumer electronics and microelectronics. Some aviation and aerospace product applications are cockpit instruments, engine electronics potting, and engine gasketing. RTV silicones are used for their ability to withstand stress and temperature extremes.
