Hylosil 101 Ivory RTV Silicone Technical Data Sheet

HYLOSIL 101
Amine curing RTV Silicone Sealant
Description
Hylosil 101 is a non-corrosive, low odour (when compared with Acetoxy based sealants), Room
Temperature Vulcanising (RTV) silicone compound. It is a high performance, engineering grade used
in the automotive industry and for general manufacturing. It can also be used for a variety of
applications and is particularly suitable for high strength applications.
Hylosil 101 has good resistance to oils and aqueous anti-freeze agents.
Unlike general-purpose silicone sealants, Hylosil 101 contains no solvents and does not give off acetic
acid during cure.

Instructions for Use
Ensure both surfaces to be bonded are dry and free from contamination such as oil or grease.
Apply a bead directly onto one surface. Once applied, the joint should be assembled without
delay.
Care should be taken to ensure any excess compound does not extrude internally and foul any
internal oil-ways or other channels and cause blockages. Any excess external product can be
wiped away with a damp cloth.
Typical Applications
Due to its good resistance to oils, Hylomar Silicone Sealant 101 is ideal for use as a flexible gasket
or flange sealant, for use in automotive and general engineering applications.
