Room Temperature Vulcanization silicone rubber 1 (RTV-1)
Construction, automotive and electronics require reliable RTV-1 adhesive and sealant formulations. By adding Evonik's DYNASYLAN® silanes the formulations gain much better properties. The silanes improve adhesion to critical substrates such as glass, metal and plastic, even under difficult environmental conditions. The structural integrity in construction is maintained and applications in vehicles are reliably bonded. In addition, silanes enhance mechanical properties such as tensile and tear strength plus elasticity, to withstand dynamic stress and vibrations. DYNASYLAN® crosslinks silicone rubber effectively, increasing its chemical and temperature resistance. It is ideal for use in industrial applications that require durability against oils and solvents. DYNASYLAN® enables robust and reliable adhesive and sealant solutions, reducing maintenance costs and increasing product longevity.
Room Temperature Vulcanization silicone rubber 2 (RTV-2)
Silanes are crucial in enhancing silicone rubber systems by acting as effective crosslinkers and improving adhesion to various substrates. They contribute significantly to the mechanical properties of silicone rubber, such as tensile strength, elasticity, and tear resistance. These enhancements make silanes indispensable in various industries, including electronics (encapsulation and potting), building & construction (seal joints and gaps to provide protective coatings), automotive (creating durable gaskets and seals in engine components) and aerospace (seal and insulate components exposed to extreme temperatures and pressures).
The advantages of using Evonik’s silane products include improved adhesion, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and enhanced durability and longevity. Several silane products are part of the DYNASYLAN® product family. Each of these products offers unique properties that cater to specific applications, ensuring optimal performance across diverse industrial applications.
