About RTV silicone rubber

RTV silicone rubber (RTV) is the sixties advent of a new type of silicone elastomer, the rubber of the most notable feature is at room temperature without heating, such as local pressure can be cured, extremely easy to use. Thus, came on fast become the silicone products is an important part. RTV silicone rubber is now widely used as adhesives, sealants, protective coatings, potting and molding materials, in all walks of life has its purpose.

Classification

RTV silicone rubber according to their packaging can be divided into one-and two-component room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, according to the type of curing mechanism can be divided into condensation forming and processing. Therefore, by RTV silicone rubber composition, curing mechanism and the use of technology can be divided into three types, namely, one-component RTV silicone rubber, two-component condensation-type RTV silicone rubber and two-component RTV silicone rubber molding plus . These three series of room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber has its own characteristics: one-component RTV silicone rubber has the advantage of easy to use, but more difficult deep curing rate; two-component RTV silicone rubber has the advantage of curing and hold heat, shrinkage is very small, not expansion, no stress, curing and surface at the same time internal, you can deep sulfide; plus RTV molding silicone rubber vulcanization time depends mainly on temperature, therefore, the use of temperature regulation can control the cure rate .

One-component RTV silicone rubber

Single-component RTV silicone rubber vulcanized by reaction with moisture in the air play a role in the vulcanized into the elastomer. One-component RTV silicone rubber for deacidification type Oxime type, alcohol type, de amine, amide-and off-one off-type and many other varieties. Single-component RTV silicone rubber vulcanization time depends on curing system, temperature, humidity and the thickness of silicone rubber to improve the environmental temperature and humidity, can accelerate the curing process. In a typical environmental conditions, generally 15 to 30 minutes, the silicone rubber surface can not sticky, adhesive layer thickness of 0.3 cm can be cured in one day. Curing depth and intensity in three weeks or so will be gradually enhanced.

One-component RTV silicone rubber with excellent electrical properties and chemical inertness, and heat resistance, natural aging, flame resistance, moisture, permeability and other properties. They range -60 ~ 200 ℃ to maintain long-term flexibility. It does not cure endothermic, hold heat, curing shrinkage, good adhesion of the material. Therefore, mainly used for adhesives and sealants, other applications include in situ forming gaskets, protective coatings and caulking materials. Many single-component silicone rubber adhesive formulations exhibit a variety of materials such as most metals, glass, ceramics and concrete on the auto-adhesive properties. When the bonding difficulties, progress in the substrate primer to improve bonding strength, primer can be a reactive silane monomer or resin, when they are cured on the substrate, for generating a layer of modified silicone adhesive surface. One-component RTV silicone rubber although easy to use, but because it is by curing lazy moisture in the atmosphere, the thickness of the vulcanized rubber is limited, only the thickness of 6 mm for the needs of the occasion. Single-component RTV silicone rubber vulcanization reaction is carried out from the depth of the surface gradually, layer thicker, the slower the cure. When the deep but also fast-curing, the curing method can be stratified water gradually, each time adding some plastic material, such as curing and then feeding, thus reducing the total curing time. Magnesium can be added to accelerate the deep rubber vulcanization.

Two-component condensation-type RTV silicone rubber

Two-component RTV silicone rubber curing reaction does not depend on moisture in the air, but to be triggered by the catalyst. Usually the plastic material and catalyst, respectively, as a component of packaging. Only when the two components are mixed together only when completely cures. Two-component condensation-type RTV silicone rubber vulcanization time depends on the type of catalyst, the amount and temperature. Sulfide catalyst, the more the faster, while leaving aside the shorter the time. At room temperature, the time usually set aside a few hours, to set aside time to extend the rubber, available cooling methods. Two-component condensation-type RTV silicone rubber in the rafters to achieve full cure at room temperature for a day or so, but only 150 ℃ temperature 1 hour. By using the synergistic effect of promoting agents can significantly improve the cure rate.
