Momentive RTV159 Adhesive Sealant High Strength High Temperature
Momentive RTV159 Description
RTV 159 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. RTV157 sealant also provides non high temperature performance. Both of these products release acetic acid vapours as a by-product of cure.
RTV 159 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.
