Description
"RTV Black Silicone Compound" is a type of silicone used primarily for making and repairing gaskets in the automotive and motorcycle industries. The term "RTV" stands for "Room Temperature Vulcanizing," which means that the silicone hardens at room temperature.
The main features of this product include:
-
Heat Resistance : It can withstand temperatures up to approximately 329°C (623°F), making it suitable for high temperature environments such as motors.
-
Impermeability : Forms an airtight barrier that prevents fluid leaks, making it ideal for cylinder head gaskets, valve covers and other critical applications.
-
Adhesion : Bonds well to many materials, including metal, plastic and rubber, providing a long-lasting hold.
-
Flexibility : Remains elastic even after hardening, allowing good adaptation to temperature variations and movement of the components.
-
Fluid Resistance : Resistant to oils, fuels and other liquids commonly found in vehicles.
When using this type of silicone, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application and care. Clean surfaces thoroughly before applying and allow to dry completely to ensure a good seal.
