Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • A low density, two-part, red, thixotropic RTV silicone
  • 100: 0.5 Mix Ratio (Base: Curing Agent)

Applications & Uses

Application Area
Applications
  • For applications requiring low outgassing and minimal volatile condensables under extreme operating conditions to avoid condensation in sensitive devices
  • As a bonding, sealing, or potting material in electronic and space applications
  • Provides radiation resistance, low thermal conductivity, oxidation stability, thermal stability and good ablative characteristics
  • Especially useful to bond solar cells to solar array panels
  • For applications requiring a broader operating temperature range
Instructions for Use

Mixing

Stir base prior to curing agent addition. Thoroughly mix 0.5% by weight of curing agent to base by weight. Use of a pipette is recommended for dispensing small amounts of the curing agent. Caution: The curing agent may cause skin irritation. In case of eye contact, irrigate with water immediately and seek medical attention.

Vacuum Deaeration

Remove air entrapped during mixing by common vacuum deaeration procedure, observing all applicable safety precautions. Slowly apply full vacuum to a container rated for use and at least four times the volume of the material being deaerated. Hold vacuum until bulk deaeration is complete.

Note: Some bonding applications may require the use of a primer. NuSil Technology SP-120 silicone primer is recommended.

Adjustable Cure

Schedule Product cures at a wide range of cure times and temperatures to accommodate different production needs.
