Dow Corning has introduced a series of two-part RTV (room temperature vulcanization) silicone sealants that combine an adhesive base and catalyst that provides a longer lasting, more versatile seal in addition to offering other numerous advantages:
· Cures consistently at room temperature regardless of humidity levels, allowing for more predictable production flow.
· Parts are ready to handle after only 10 to 20 minutes and fully cured after seven hours. This reduces floor space requirements to store materials and improves production efficiency.
· Can be applied robotically to achieve consistent distribution, reduce waste, and improve product consistency.
· Adheres well to glass, screen printed glass, stainless steel and other metals, and many plastics that are used in a wide variety of home appliances.
· Can be specified in an attractive black finish to create a more professional-looking finished product.
To better serve its customers and to help appliance manufacturers pin point the solutions that best meet their needs, a new Dow Corning Two Part RTV Silicone Sealants webpage has been launched, located here.
