Silicone Sealants

Chemical structure of a polydimethylsiloxane – the basis of silicone sealants
Silicone sealants are supplied as one-part, ready-to-use systems. They consist of polydimethylsiloxane, curing agent, fillers and additives. After a sealant has been applied, crosslinking starts on contact with atmospheric moisture, releasing byproducts. Crosslinking starts with the formation of a skin on the surface of the applied silicone rubber and gradually progresses into the interior of the compound. Depending on the nature of the crosslinker, a small amount of an amine, acetic acid or a neutral compound, such as alcohol, is released during vulcanization.
Thanks to their outstanding properties, RTV-1 silicone sealants solve a wide variety of sealing, bonding and coating problems. Their excellent resistance to weathering and aging is the result of special chemical properties.
