RTV Silicone Rubber

Making electrical & electronic equipment more reliable.
Electronic devices and electrical modules are constantly evolving in performance and functionality
while becoming smaller and more lightweight. At the same time, “green design” has become the norm.
These factors have created a demand for materials that offer higher quality, higher functionality and more eco-friendly properties.

Improving the reliability of today’s safer, greener car electronics

Boosting the reliability of next-generation energy systems including solar cells, wind power, and fuel cells
Boosting the reliability of PCUs (Power Control Units), which are essential to making consumer electronics,
hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles and railways more energy efficient; and that of power modules including power conditioners,
which are critical components of alternative energy systems including solar and wind power
Telecommunications and optoelectronics, including eco-friendly LEDs
Thermal interface technologies that help protect electronic devices from heat

These and many other leading-edge technologies would not exist without RTV silicone rubber.

 Features of silicone

Silicones have an amazing array of properties.

Silicones consist of a main chain of inorganic siloxane linkages (Si-O-Si) plus side chains
which contain organic groups. Silicones are hybrid polymers that contain
both inorganic and organic components.

The main chain of a silicone consists of siloxane linkages

which are stable and have a high bonding energy.
Compared to organic polymers, which have a carbon skeleton (C-C/bonding energy: 85 kcal/mol),
silicones have superior heat resistance and weatherability (UV light, ozone).
This is due to the greater stability of siloxane bonds, which have a bonding energy of 106 kcal/mol.

With their long bond length and high bond angle,

siloxane bonds have weak intermolecular forces and move freely.
Siloxane bonds have a bond length of 1.64 Å and bond angle of 134°.
Compared to carbon bonds (bond distance: 1.54 Å, bond angle: 110°),
they have a long bond distance and high bond angle, and a low rotational energy barrier.
As a result, siloxane bonds move more freely and intermolecular forces are weak.
These characteristics manifest themselves in features of the silicone material,
including softness, gas permeability, cold resistance, and little change in viscosity due to temperature changes.

The molecules of silicone polymers are covered by

hydrophobic methyl groups, and surface energy is low.
The backbone of a silicone polymer molecule is a twisted helical structure.
The molecules are almost completely covered by hydrophobic methyl groups, and surface energy is low.
This gives rise to unique properties including water repellency and easy release.

Moreover, silicones are low-polarity polymers, so they absorb little moisture.

When using addition-cure RTV silicone rubber products, it is important that the user have a good understanding of the problem of cure inhibition.
The substances that can cause cure inhibition do so in one of the two following ways.
Causes of poor curing Specific examples of cure inhibition
1. The platinum catalyst forms complexes with certain other compounds, • Organic rubber: vulcanized rubber, anti-aging agent (e.g. gloves).
and the catalytic action is inhibited. • Epoxy & urethane resin: amine- and isocyanate-based curing agents.
2. The curing agent becomes contaminated with substances it can react with, • Condensation-cure RTV silicone rubber: use of tin-based catalysts in particular.

 Basic information about RTV silicone rubber

Low-molecular-weight siloxane and electrical contact failures

● What is low-molecular-weight siloxane?

Low-molecular-weight (LMW) siloxane is shown in the chemical formula on the right. It is non-reactive
cyclic dimethyl polysiloxane (generally D3–D10) that is volatile, meaning it will vaporize into the air
during the cure process and even after curing.
It has been reported that, in certain conditions (described below), LMW siloxane can cause electrical
contact failures.

● Reduced LMW siloxane products (designed to reduce incidence of electrical contact failures)
These are products in which LMW siloxane has been reduced to a prescribed level. LMW siloxane is
known to cause electrical contact failures in certain conditions.
For most Shin-Etsu products, this means a ∑Dn (n=3–10) of 300 ppm or less, or 500 ppm or less.
The risk of electrical contact failures is also affected by the conditions described below, so these
products do not represent an absolute solution. Nonetheless, reduced LMW siloxane products are
still recommended for electrical and electronic applications.

Contact failures may be caused by organic materials such as human Manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment report that LMW

 Main applications for RTV silicone rubber

LED devices
Endowed with high resistance to light and heat, silicone resins have a range of uses in various types of LEDs. Silicones used in LEDs include
LED encapsulants, die-bonding adhesives and damming materials. LED encapsulants are used to protect the chips and wires, as a binder for
the phosphors, and for molding light guides and lenses. Die-bonding adhesives are used to attach the chips, and damming materials are used
for COB applications. The Shin-Etsu product line also includes reflective molding materials for LED packages.

IGBT Modules
IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules are a primary component of high-capacity inverters. In an
IGBT module, a potting agent (gel) is used for electrical insulation and a sealant is used to bond the case to the
base plate. In addition, a thermally conductive grease is used to help direct heat away from the IGBT module.

interface material to aid in cooling the heat-producing components on circuit boards, helping to improve the
reliability of the automobile. Silicone grease is also used as a thermal interface material. For information on

a thermal interface material for capacitors, transformers, coils and other electronic components. Potting agents are used to cover over the
circuit board, where they provide waterproofing and electrical insulation and act as a thermal interface material. Coating agents are applied
to part or all of the circuit board to protect components and circuits from moisture and metallic debris. And for power supply boards, which
require a flame resistant material, products that meet UL94 V-0 requirements are used.
