Working With Platinum RTV—R-2000 Systems
Platinum RTV (Addition Cure) Silicones are excellent tooling rubbers that produce high strength molds or parts with long library shelf life and extreme dimensional stability. Shore hardness ranges from 20 to 80 Shore A. Addition Cure Silicones solidify with the appropriate amount of catalyst without any moisture and will deep-section cure in entirety in a closed system; there need not be atmospheric exposure for curing.
Properties of Addition Cure Silicone:
* Heat Stability up to 600F
* Resistant to Nicking
* Good Resistance to Urethane Resins for High Production Use
* High Tensile
* Firm Rubber Tools for Composite Manufacturing
* Heat Accelerated Cure
* Virtually Zero Shrinkage
Curing Silicone:
Addition Cure Silicone RTV’s will not cure over certain surfaces. A contaminating surface causes RTV to remain gummy and tacky in those areas. If any of the substances or related substances listed below are being used, please pre-test by applying RTV on a localized area and allow 24 hour cure on substrate to determine compatibility. *Mold Master Soution is an available surface treatment used to minimize or eliminate light contamination problems.
Possible Inhibiting Substances:
* Amines-Epoxy
* Acetone, MEK
* Adhesive Tapes
* Bondo Coatings, Paints, Solvents
* Condensation (Tin) Silicone RTV-- R-1000 Systems
* Carrier
* Clay-Sulfur Based
* Chlorinated Solvents
* Composites Pre-Preg
* Gel Coats
* Heavy Moisture
* Latex Gloves
* Polyester Paints
* Sulfur Cured-Organic Rubber
* Some Urethanes--TDI Urethanes
