Permatex® 80050 Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant, 3 Oz Tube

Permatex® Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant is a general purpose, single component, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) compound, designed for the sealing of mechanical assemblies. Upon curing from the exposure to moisture in the air, this non-sagging paste forms a tough, flexible, waterproof seal of silicone rubber, which resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking. Note: Not recommended for engine gasketing applications or windshield installation.

Storage of Unused Product

• Create a "Silicone Plug" by allowing excess material to extend beyond the extension nozzle or aerosol tip to cure, sealing and protecting the remaining product from moisture. For reuse, simply remove the cured product from the tip.

For Cleanup

• Remove uncured product from parts and hand-tools with a dry cloth, if skinned over, break film with a dry cloth to remove as much as possible, and remove the remaining material with Permatex® Gasket Remover (not for use on painted surfaces) as previously stated.
• Clean hands with a dry cloth or Permatex® Fast Orange® hand cleaner.

Properties Of Uncured Material

• Extrusion rate @ 25degree Celsius, (grams/min): >220
• Flash Point degree Celsius, degree Fahrenheit: >93 (>200)

Typical Curing Performance

• Permatex® Clear RTV Silicone Adhesive Sealant cures on exposure to moisture in the air. The product cures tack free in 1 hour and fully cures in 24 hours. Cure times will vary with temperature, humidity and gap. Note: The curing process can cause corrosion to some surfaces, for critical applications use the Ultra Series silicones.

Typical Environmental Resistance

• Continuous, degree Celsius (degree Fahrenheit): -59 to 204 (-75 to 400)
• Intermittent, degree Celsius (degree Fahrenheit): -59 to 260 (-75 to 500)

General Information

• This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.

Storage
