Product description
BLUESIL® RTV 141 B is the B component of the highly transparent two-component silicone system RTV 141, which was specially developed for use in optical, electrical, and sensory potting applications. When combined with BLUESIL® RTV 141 A, it produces an addition-curing, elastic silicone with very good electrical insulation, high optical clarity, and excellent temperature resistance. RTV 141 B is used in a mixing ratio of 1:10 to RTV 141 A and enables safe and homogeneous curing—at room temperature or accelerated by heat. The system is ideal for light-conducting components, sensitive electronics, and transparent protective potting solutions.
