RTV Silicone

ABchimie's RTV Silicone

Reliable RTV Silicone Solutions for Demanding Electronic Applications

Momentive Performance Materials provides a versatile range of RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) silicone products designed to meet the demanding performance and handling needs of electronic components and assemblies. Choosing the right RTV silicone depends on several key factors, such as Manufacturing process, Handling and dispensing requirements, Curing conditions, Available equipment and Desired material properties. Our portfolio supports a wide range of applications, offering durability, flexibility, and reliable protection in challenging environments.

POLYMERISATION MODES

Condensation Curing Silicones

Condensation-curing systems cure at room temperature when exposed to ambient moisture. These materials are commonly classified into three types based on their curing chemistry: Alkoxy, Acetoxy, and Oxime.

Each type offers unique characteristics suited to specific application and processing requirements.

Addition Curing Silicones

Addition-curing systems require exposure to elevated temperatures to initiate the curing process. These two-part formulations offer fast, controlled curing, making them ideal for high-performance applications where precision and thermal stability are essential.

Sealing & Adhesion with RTV Silicones

RTV silicones are widely used for bonding components and sealing against moisture, dust, and environmental contaminants. Available in both 1-part and 2-part formulations, these adhesives and sealants are excellent solutions for assembly applications involving sensitive electrical and electronic components.

RTV silicones can be applied using a variety of methods, from manual dispensing to automated systems, and are available in tubes, cartridges, pails, and drums. Two-part systems can be mixed manually or with meter-mix dispensing equipment, depending on production needs and material behavior after mixing.

Silicone Coating Solutions

The coating process involves applying a thin, protective silicone layer to component surfaces using methods such as dipping, flow coating, spraying, or selective robotic application. Silicone coatings are designed to protect electronic assemblies and components from moisture, dust, chemicals, and other environmental stresses.

Choosing the right silicone coating requires careful consideration of performance requirements and processing conditions, including cure type, application method, and material compatibility.
