1. Product Overview

RTV31, RTV60, and RTV88 are high-temperature, two-part silicone elastomers supplied as a base with DBT (dibutyl tin dilaurate) as the standard curing agent. These solvent-free compounds cure at room temperature to durable, resilient rubbers and differ mainly in uncured viscosity. Cure speed and work time can be adjusted by varying the type or concentration of the curing agent.

Temperature Range:

  • Continuous: -54°C to 260°C (-65°F to 500°F)

  • Short-term: up to 316°C (600°F)

Key Benefits:

  • Variable work times and cure rates

  • Room temperature cure

  • Excellent adhesion with primer

  • Excellent release properties

  • Retains elastomeric properties at high and low temperatures


2. Applications

  • Potting and encapsulating electric motors and transformers

  • Fabrication of rubber parts

  • Casting molds for low-melting point metals

  • Rubber rollers and release applications

  • Thermal insulation

  • Deep section curing and automated mixing
