Meeting the Demands of your applications
Shin-Etsu Silicone’s electrical, electronic and general industrial use RTV rubber has been developed primarily for the gluing, sealing, and potting of electrical and electronic equipment.
As Electrical and electronic equipment becomes lighter, smaller, and more sophisticated, ever higher quality, performance and reliability is required of their structural components and materials. Shin-Etsu Silicone’s high-performance RTV rubber products can meet a wide variety of needs, offering outstanding heat and low temperature resistance, weather resistance, and electrical properties.
Features of RTV rubber
RTV rubbers are suitable for heat-resistant seals of heating devices such as microwave ovens.
They can be used at temperatures ranging from -50°C to +250°C. They remain flexible even when used continuously from -40°C to +180°C
RTV rubbers are suitable for heat dissipating seals of heat pipes.
They exhibit outstanding adhesive strength on numerous materials including metals, glass, and plastics. There are types available that suit a variety of different applications, substrates, and usage conditions. For certain substrates, the use of a primer is recommended.
RTV rubbers provide moisture-proof coatings for electrodes and other applications.
Their ability to remain stable electrical properties even through environmental changes such as temperature and humidity changes makes them ideal for insulation sealing applications in electronic and electrical equipment.
For coating various substrates.
Non-solvent adhesives and coating agents are available (there are also solvent types available.)
RTV rubbers are suitable for applications such as vibration insulation of optical pickups.
After curing, they adsorb Shock and vibration, which prevents damage to electrical and electronic components, glass, and other delicate or fragile components.
RTV rubbers are suitable for Sealing and potting of equipment and sensors for automotive use.
Resistance to chemicals and oils is far better than that of organic rubber. Products include gasoline-resistant and engine oil resistant formulations.
RTV rubbers are suitable for sealing equipment used in outdoor environments.
With superior resistance to ultra violet rays, ozone and water, these products can be exposed to outdoor conditions for long periods of time resulting in little if any deterioration.
RTV rubbers are suitable for sealing various household ceramics.
After curing these products exhibit outstanding waterproof and air tight performance. They are ideal for sealing electronic parts and equipment that are vulnerable to moisture, and for sealing the bathroom, kitchen, or wherever water is used.
Quality, Storage and Usage
1.Greases and fluid compounds should be stirred thoroughly with a spatula or like tool before use.
2.For best results, the substrate surface should be cleaned and dried before application.
3.Don't mix products presented here with any other oil or grease.
4.Open containers should be resealed and kept away from dust or dirt.
