1. RTV silicone sealants for filling are widely
used as flow sealants in automobiles, thanks to their ability to withstand high
temperatures in various states. Silicones are the only elastomers that can
remain flexible at freezing temperatures of -45°C and are therefore also used in the refrigeration industry. This
ability also allows silicones to be used in the aerospace industry. As the only
elastomer that remains flexible at low temperatures, the silicone in the lunar
boots worn by astronauts was the first substance to touch the moon in 1969. In
addition to low-temperature flexibility, silicone resin's UV resistance
determines its application in artificial satellites and spacecraft.
