Silicone adhesive - a flexible and versatile material

Silicone adhesive (RTV Silicone) is a flexible and versatile material that protects against vibration, moisture, high temperatures and UV light. It hardens and withstands high loads better than a silent adhesive, thus providing better performance, especially in slightly larger structures. Silicone adhesives work well for example: 

  • sealing of threads and flanges
  • bonding of metal applications
  • joining glass, ceramics and some plastics

A chemical-resistant and work environment-friendly adhesive

Thanks to its favourable properties, silicone adhesive is popular for industrial bonding. It has better adhesion, higher chemical resistance and some types are even food grade (according to the FDA) and fire rated. Tribotec silicones are developed to minimise impact on people and the environment. We have a certified environmental management system according to ISO 14001.

RTV silicones use moisture in the atmosphere for the curing process

RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanising which refers to a condensation curing system. The silicone uses moisture in the atmosphere to activate the cure, which takes place at room temperature. Some silicones are also addition-curing, meaning that they require heat to initiate curing.

Tribotec's wide range of silicone adhesives is perfect for various applications

Tribotec silicone adhesives adhere very well to difficult-to-bond materials such as metals, glass, silicone rubber and some fatty plastics. We offer paste, full/semi-liquid, room temperature curing and thermosetting silicone adhesives. The products are available in a variety of colours and curing systems depending on your needs.
