RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicone is a liquid silicone rubber which offers heat resistance up to 180°C and can be vulcanised at room temperature. There are two types of RTV silicone: RTV-1 and RTV-2. The material of RTV-1 immediately starts crosslinking when it is exposed to moisture whereas crosslinking for RTV-2 is achieved by manual crosslinking of its two components.
The chemical structure of RTV silicone offers a wide range of material benefits such as biocompatibility, durability, and stability. It can solidify on the surface of plastic and glass without causing physical harm such as melting or breaking the material, making it an economical solution for the liquid injection moulding process. It exhibits stable properties at temperatures ranging from -50°C to 180°C.
The production process of RTV silicone is simple. Firstly, raw rubber, structure control agent, filler, and other additives are mixed. In the next step, the mixed material is kneaded into a dough shape in a closed kneader. The dough is then kept in an open mixture before being filtered with the help of a filter glue machine. The RTV-1 generally require more inert filters to improve its fluidity, compared to the RTV-2. Lastly, after heat treatment and filtration process, the rubber compound is then sent for packaging.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone is a type of silicone rubber that cures at room temperature. It is widely used in various applications such as sealants, adhesives, mould making, and potting compounds. The curing process of RTV silicone can occur via two main mechanisms: condensation cure and addition cure.
1. Condensation Cure RTV Silicone:
Ingredients:
Chemical Reaction:
The synthesis involves a condensation reaction where the hydroxyl groups of PDMS react with the ethoxy groups of the silane crosslinker. This reaction releases ethanol and forms a crosslinked silicone network.
Reaction Formula: HO-Si(CHâ)â-OH + Si(OCâHâ )â → [-Si(CHâ)â-O-]_network + 4 CâHâ OH
2. Addition Cure RTV Silicone:
Ingredients:
Chemical Reaction:
The addition cure mechanism involves a hydrosilylation reaction where the Si-H groups of the crosslinker add across the vinyl groups of the PDMS, facilitated by a platinum catalyst. This reaction does not release any by-products and forms a crosslinked silicone network.
Reaction Formula: CH2=CH-Si(CH3)2-[O-Si(CH3)2]_n-O-Si(CH3)2-CH=CH2 + H-Si(CH3)2-[O-Si(CH3)2]_m-O-Si(CH3)2-H → [-Si(CH3)22O-]
Conclusion:
RTV silicone synthesis involves either a condensation or addition curing mechanism, each with specific ingredients and catalysts that influence the polymerisation process and the properties of the final product. Condensation cure systems release a by-product (e.g., ethanol), while addition cure systems do not, making them preferable for applications where the presence of by-products is undesirable.
Due to its superior heat resistance properties, RTV silicone causes minimal shrinkage after moulding, making it suitable for use in elongated products whose centre portion shrinks more than its edge. Its favourable flexibility and heat-resistive properties make it ideal for industrial applications such as textile coating, functional prototyping, and food manufacturing. Moreover, the biocompatible nature of RTV, specifically RTV-2, makes it suitable for use in bandages and sterile dressings for wounds.
