SS-5061 Product Description
SS-5061 is a room temperature curing silicone RTV gel developed for applications
requiring a low specific gravity silicone gel product. SS-5061 is a two part,
1:1 mix ratio silicone. Room temperature mixing of SS-5061 results in a cure
time of 1 hour. SS-5061 can also be heat cured at 150C to yield a cure time
of less than 15 minutes. When cured, the elastomer resists weathering, ozone,
moisture, UV and high temperatures.
