Momentive RTV157 Adhesive Sealant High Strength
Momentive RTV157 Description
RTV 157 is a one-component, ready-to-use, high strength silicone rubber adhesive sealant. It cures to a tough resilient silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. RTV159 sealant also provides high temperature performance. Both of these products release acetic acid vapours as a by-product of cure.
RTV 157 sealant is a paste consistency product which can be applied to horizontal, vertical and overhead surfaces in applications requiring high strength and temperature performance. Since this adhesive sealant utilizes a moisture cure system, it must not be used in thicknesses of greater than 6mm (1/4 in.). Where section depths exceed 6mm (1/4 in.), Momentive Performance Materials one-component, addition cure or two-component silicone rubber compounds are suggested.
These sealants were not designed for and should not be used for applications intended for permanent implantation into the human body.
