Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicones
were the first silicone rubber products to be accepted by the general user
market. Since their introduction in 1960, they have been widely used. Silicones
are considered superior to other sealants due to their tolerance to extreme
temperatures and their ability to adhere to a variety of substrates without a
primer. They are also used in the construction, glazing, medical, aviation,
aerospace, manufacturing, electrical, electronics and automotive markets. Today,
the largest consumption of silicones is in the building materials industry.
