WACKER RTV-2 Systems Make All the Difference
WACKER supplies room-temperature-curing (RTV) ELASTOSIL® and SILPURAN® brand silicone rubber grades designed to meet specific prosthetic and orthopedic demands. The addition-cure products are formulated as two-pack systems: A and B. The platinum catalyst is separate from the curing agent. After components A and B have been mixed, the mixture cures to an elastomer at room temperature. The process can be greatly accelerated by raising the temperature to between 70 and 130 °C.
