Mouldings made from RTV silicone
Prototypes, individual production, serial parts
RTV stands for room temperature vulcanization of two components. By mixing the two components, the vulcanization takes place.
Advantages of addition cured RTV silicone:
- low shrinkage (<0.1%)
- precise dimensional accuracy
- preservation of mechanical properties at –40 °C to +180 °C
- very good weathering resistance
- better radiation resistance than other organic elastomers
- electrical insulation capacity
The physical data of RTV silicone types are in part significantly lower than those of HTV silicone rubber types.
However, the temperature resistance and also the temperature behaviour are comparable.
Possible designs:
- fcolored variation possibilities
- one side smooth or rough surface
- Silicone coated with PTFE glass fabric foil
- different shore hardnesses can be combined
- Silicon metal compounds
Area of application: Versatile use as moulded part or gasket element.
