Silicone Tin RTV
Silicone Deadener Fluid
F-1000 dimethylpolysiloxane fluid is characterized by a high flash point and low surface tension. F-1000 is used to “Deaden” RTV’s and lower hardness by adding it to the Silicone RTV system, providing a unique “feel” that is unachievable with other silicone fluids. With increased amounts of softening agent, gel and cure times will be prolonged with a possible permanent gel state at 250% levels. **NOTE: Catalyst should be calculated at the amount of A-side (Base) only-- prior to the addition of fluid.
The silicone fluid has exceptional properties as indicated below:
· Excellent resistance to oxidation and hydrolysis.
· Chemically inert and non‑corrosive.
· Excellent resistance to atmospheric constituents, such as oxygen, ozone, water and ultraviolet radiation.
· High compressibility.
· Small change in viscosity due to variations in temperature.
· Incompatibility with organic substances.
· Low surface tension.

Mixing Instructions
Add F-1000 fluid to the Silicone RTV rubber mix. Catalyst of RTV should be calculated at the amount of A-side (Base) only-- prior to the addition of fluid. The addition of 10-15% fluid will lower the hardness by 5-10 points. RTV performance will decline in terms of strength and increase cure time with higher levels of fluid. Pre-test to ensure satisfactory performance.
