Frequently Asked Questions
What does "neutral cure" mean for RTV162?
Neutral cure means the silicone releases a neutral byproduct (typically an oxime or alcohol) during cure, rather than acetic acid (vinegar smell) released by acetoxy-cure silicones. Neutral cure is preferred for electronics because it does not corrode sensitive metals, contacts, or components.
What is the service temperature range of MG Chemicals RTV162?
RTV162 is rated for continuous service from -60°C to 205°C, making it suitable for high-temperature electronics applications including power electronics, automotive, and industrial equipment.
Is RTV162 suitable for use on PCBs and electronic components?
Yes. RTV162 is specifically formulated as an electronics-grade silicone, making it safe for use on PCBs and metallic electronic components. Its neutral cure chemistry avoids corrosion of sensitive contacts and metals.
What dispensing equipment is needed for the 300ml cartridge?
The 300ml cartridge requires a compatible manual or pneumatic cartridge dispensing gun. Contact MTE Solutions for compatible dispensing equipment recommendations.
How long does MG Chemicals RTV162 take to cure?
RTV162 cures by atmospheric moisture at room temperature. Skin-over time is typically within minutes; full cure depth depends on bead thickness and ambient humidity. Thicker sections cure more slowly from the outside in. Consult the MG Chemicals RTV162 technical datasheet for full cure schedules.
