RTV-S 691
RTV-2 Silicone Rubber
Characteristics Application
RTV-S 691 is a flowable, dual-part addition curing Silicone adhesive with minimum outgassing behaviour
silicone rubber which can be vulcanised at room for space projects, e. g. bonding for solar cells in
temperature. Due to its low outgassing rate and low satelites.
temperature flexibility it is recommended especially for RTV S-691 can be applied by silk screen printing or by
space applications. dispensing equipment.
In order to make the rubber adhere to other materials
(e. g. glass, aluminium, silver, epoxy resin, polyester
Special characteristics resin), it is necessary to pretreat the surface with
Primer G 790.

Mixing of the components

It is ablolutely imperative that any equipment, such as
mixing vessels, spatulas and stirres, that is used to
process Component A (which contains the platinum
catalyst) or the mixture of both components does not
come into contact with Component B (which contains
the crosslinker). Therefore, all equipment should be
clearly labeled.
