Room temperature vulcanization (RTV) silicone resin is the first silicone rubber product to be accepted by a wide range of user markets. Since its introduction in 1960, it has been widely used. Silicone is considered better than other sealants because of its resistance to extreme temperatures and its ability to adhere to a variety of matrix materials without the need for a primer. They can also be used in the construction, glass assembly, pharmaceutical, aerospace, aerospace, manufacturing, electrical, electronics and automotive markets. Today, the largest part of silicone resin consumption is the amount used in the building materials industry.
Room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone sealants used for filling are widely used in automotive fluid sealants due to their ability to withstand high temperatures in various conditions. Silicone is the only elastomer that can maintain good flexibility under freezing conditions of -45 ° C, so it is also used in the refrigeration industry. This capability also allows silicones to be used in aerospace applications. As the only elastomer that remains flexible at low temperatures, the silicone on lunar boots worn by astronauts was the first substance to come in contact with the moon in 1969. In addition to low temperature flexibility, the UV resistance of silicone resins determines its applications in satellites and spacecraft.
