Bluesil RTV 141 A
BLUESIL® RTV 141 A – Crystal-clear 2-component silicone rubber for optical encapsulation and embedding applications
Internal reference:
40-905
HS code:
39100000
Product description
BLUESIL® RTV 141 A is a low-viscosity, colorless, silicone-based liquid that cures together with BLUESIL® RTV 141 B to form a crystal-clear, elastic silicone rubber. The product cross-links through an addition reaction at room temperature and, thanks to its optical transparency, electrical insulation properties, and tear resistance, enables particularly high-quality encapsulations. It is suitable for sensitive electronic components, light-conducting fibers, sensors, and optoelectronic components. Its excellent dielectric properties, low shrinkage, and high temperature resistance make this system the preferred choice in electronics manufacturing and precision engineering.
