About Silicone Adhesives and Sealants
Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and a very high temperature resistance (up to 600° F), but lack the strength of other epoxy or acrylic resins. They are based upon silicone elastomeric technology. Silicone adhesives and silicone sealants are available in two-component addition or condensation curing systems or single component RTV forms. Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) forms cure through reaction with moisture in the air and give off aciatic acid fumes or other by-product vapors during curing. Technologies or cure systems for silicone adhesives and sealants are usually defined as pressure sensitive, radiation cured, moisture cured, thermoset, and RTV.
