silicone sealant price
Silicone Sealant, generally available in paste form, cures (dries) after reacting with moisture to form rubber like flexible compound. It also releases a by-product during this curing process . Based on the by-product generated, Silicones are classified into two categories that is Neutral & Acetoxy silicones.
RTV sealants are generally resistant to chemicals, moisture and weathering, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. RTV sealant can also be modified to match the needs of a specific application.
characteristics of RTV Silicone sealants
- Heat resistance: GP silicone sealant works up to 150C. High temperature RTV sealant. can withstand up to 315ºC (600ºF).
- Electric protection and insulation: when electric and electronic materials such as silver, brass and copper need sealing, one should choose for a RTV silicone which protects seals and insulates for example in the electronics industry.
- Resistance to microorganisms: RTV silicone waterproofing sealants are watertight and common as sealing solutions in humid environments such as swimming pools and industrial kitchens. For these applications the best choice is a sealant which resists mould and mildew as well as other harmful microorganisms.
- Chemical resistance: RTV silicone is generally resistant to some chemicals. Formula modification allows for example for acid and solvent resistance depending on the environment´s requirements.
