Low-Outgassing RTV Silicones

Low Outgassing Silicones for Crew Capsules and Satellites

Momentive has a full range of advanced low outgassing silicone products that offer outstanding performance with minimal by-products, and meet low outgassing requirements for adhesives in crew capsules and satellites. Our low outgassing silicones are resistant to extreme temperatures, friction, abrasion and stress, and can provide protection against corrosives, water, oils and salts. They meet or exceed ASTM E595 testing standards established by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Typical Benefits of Low Outgassing RTVs

  • Loss of less than 1% of mass in a vacuum*
  • Produces less than 0.1% volatile condensable materials in a vacuum*
  • Low outgassing products meet or exceed ASTM E595 testing standards
  • Maintain critical properties for extended time over the wide range of extreme temperatures encountered by spacecraft -130°C (-200°F) to 260°C (500°F)
  • Remains flexible in the extreme low temperatures of space
  • Excellent thermal insulation
  • Very strong adhesion with primer to support structural integrity
  • UV and ozone resistance
  • Room temperature cure
  • Available in paste to flowable viscosities to accommodate a wide range of applications
