Our introduced Silicone products consist of RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) silicone products that are commonly found in Electric and Electronic applications and component assemblies. This family of silicone products consists of both Room Temperature Cure and Heat (Addition) Cure grades.
Momentive Performance Materials offers a comprehensive portfolio of silicone solutions to help meet a broad array of handling and performance needs in electronic components and assemblies. The selection of the appropriate type of RTV depends upon the required manufacturing process, handling requirements, curing conditions, equipment, and desired material properties.
What is Condensation Cure Silicone?
Condensation cure silicone products cure when exposed to moisture in the environment at room temperature. These materials are categorized into Alkoxy, Acetoxy, or Oxime based on the byproducts that occur during cure.
How about Heat (Addition) Cure?
Heat cure grades cure upon exposure to elevated heat or room temperature.
Why Silicone Materials is a good choice for the manufacturing process instead of Epoxy and Urethane?
Each materials including Silicone, Epoxy or Polyurethane has its own advantages, however, recently in the modern manufacturing process, Silicone Adhesive, Sealant has successfully shown its beneficial properties all over these other ones, take a look at the following table:
Property | Silicone RTV | Epoxy | Urethane |
Temperature Range | -50 ~ +200ºC | -50 ~ +150ºC | -30 ~ +120ºC |
Flame Retardancy ¹ | Good | None | None |
UV Stability | Good | Poor | Poor |
Ozone Stability | Good | Poor | Poor |
Modulus | Low | High | High |
Heat Resistance | Good | Poor | Poor |
(1) As a base material silicone demonstrates flame retardant properties comparable to UL94HB
