GE Silicones RTV5818 One-Component, Modified Alkoxy Adhesive Sealant, Translucent

Subcategory: Silicone; Thermoset; Polymer

Close Analogs:

GE Silicones became a part of Momentive Performance Materials in 2006.

Material Notes:
RTV5810 Series sealants are neutral cure, one-component, ready to use silicone adhesive sealants that cure to tough resilient silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature.

These sealants are fast curing paste consistency products designed for use where quick initial adhesion build is desired. This allows for movement of the sealed assemblies in a shorter period of time increasing productivity.

Mechanical properties for specimen cured 7 days at 25°C and 50% relative humidity.

Key Performance Properties:

• Primerless adhesion to many metals and plastics
• Non-corrosive to most substrates
• Low odor cure
• Good confined cure properties
• One-component product - No mixing required
• Retain elastomeric properties at temperatures of -60C (-75F) to 204C (400F) for long periods and to 260C (500F) for short periods
• Room temperature cure
• Excellent electrical insulation properties
• Excellent UV, chemical and weather resistance

Applications:

The cure properties of these adhesive sealants make them ideally suited for applications in confined spaces. These paste-consistency silicone sealants can be used in thickness up to 6mm (1/4 in.) for bonding and sealing, joining metals and plastics, and electrical insulation.

For applications requiring sealant thickness greater than 6mm (1/4 in.), GE Silicones one component, addition cure or two component silicone rubber compounds are recommended.
