What is RTV silicone

Research shows that the growth rate of silicone in the world is about 6% every year. As one of the fast developing varieties, RTV silica gel has outstanding performance characteristics. RTV silica gel will be introduced in detail below.
RTV is the abbreviation of Room Temperature Vulcanizing in English. It is a room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber adhesive. RTV silica gel is a semi flowing temperature resistant paste silicone adhesive sealant without curing, which has excellent sealing and bonding properties. The cured gel has good sealing, waterproof, moisture-proof, shock proof, insulation properties, non-toxic, pollution-free, non corrosive, and can reach the environmental protection level. It also has excellent temperature resistance, and the use temperature range is - 60~200 ℃. It is widely used for fixing and reinforcing electronic components, cavity sealing, waterproof protection, etc. It is also suitable for sealing, filling, bonding, and packaging in high-temperature applications, such as high-temperature kitchen appliances, electric irons, and air purifiers.
RTV silica gel is a viscous liquid with transparent, black, white, gray and other colors, which can be prepared according to user needs. RTV silica gel is prepared by compounding silicone rubber, cross-linking agent, filler and other components. Usually, the two ends of its molecular chain contain hydroxyl, vinyl and other active groups. Its structural form is similar to silicone oil. It is a solvent-free, corrosion-free room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. Long storage period and stable performance.

Performance characteristics of RTV silica gel:
1. After curing, it is an elastic colloid with excellent seismic performance. In the event of shock, the elastic colloid can play a protective role and is not easy to break.
2. It is easy to vulcanize. It can be vulcanized at room temperature. It can be cured without heating. After curing, it will not shrink or release toxic substances. Its performance is safe and guaranteed.
3. Long storage period and stable performance. During storage, without entering air or moisture, the performance is as good as before and the bonding strength is strong.
4. After curing, it has good electrical insulation and arc resistance, excellent bonding and sealing performance, and high temperature resistance. It can be used for a long time in the temperature range of - 60 ℃~200 ℃. It can meet the use requirements of most electronic and electrical appliances, and is safer to use. Even if the electrical appliances are short circuited, it will not cause a fire.
5. It has a wide range of applications, and is widely used in bonding, fixing, sealing, potting, heat conduction and coating in electronics, electrical, automotive and general industrial fields. The performance is stable and will not change after years of use.
6. Environment friendly, non-toxic and non corrosive. After curing, it will not corrode metals, ceramics, plastics, lines, etc. After curing, it will not decompose and release harmful gases or substances that affect human health even in the presence of high temperatures. It can be safely used for household appliances and high-temperature kitchen appliances.
7. It has excellent corrosion resistance, weather resistance and aging resistance, and can be used even in harsh environments.

RTV silica gel has become an indispensable material in the manufacturing process of electronic appliances, automobiles, instruments, high temperature kitchen appliances and other fields. Yaskawa RTV silica gel has the formula of high and low temperature resistance, weather resistance, aging resistance, etc. If the demand is large, it can be purchased in large quantities, just pay attention to storage.
