RTVS 8127 LV
LOW VISCOSITY THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE POTTING COMPOUND
DESCRIPTION
RTVS 8127 LV is a low viscosity, flame retardant, reversion resistant silicone compound. The low viscosity and high thermal conductivity makes the RTVS 8127 LV ideal for potting dense component packages requiring heat dissipation. This compound has excellent thermal stability, electrical properties, is compatible with most electrical insulating materials and has a UL 94 Flame Rating of 94 V-0.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Premix RTVS 8127 LV Part A and Part B in original containers before withdrawing any material. Some light, but soft settling will occur which readily redisperses.
2. Measure equal portions either weight or volume of Part A and Part B.
3. Mix thoroughly scraping both the bottom and the sides of mixing container.
4. Vacuum the mixture at 29 in. Hg for 3-4 minutes for void-free castings.
5. Pour into unit or mold.
CURE SCHEDULES:
Overnight at room temperature (24 hours at 25°C) or, 2 hours at 60°C, or 30 min. at 95°C, or 15 minutes at 120°C.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Store at room temperature. This product may settle upon shipment or storage. The product should be re-mixed well prior to use. Store material in a cool dry place.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Certain materials may inhibit the cure of RTVS 8127 LV when placed in contact with the mixed, uncured rubber. Materials such as amines and amine cured epoxies, sulfur containing materials and condensation (tin cured) silicones, are some which may cause inhibition. Even surfaces which have been in contact with such materials may cause it. If in doubt, a patch test should be done.
IMPORTANT:
The following supersedes any provision in your company's forms, letters and papers. AMERICAN SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. makes NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES of MERCHANTABILITY OR of FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE FOR THIS PRODUCT. No statements or recommendations contained in the product literature are to be construed as inducements to infringe any relevant patent, now or thereafter in existence. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL AMERICAN SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES FROM ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE, BREACH of WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT of THE USE OR HANDLING of THIS PRODUCT. The sole liability of AMERICAN SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. for any claims arising out of the manufacture, use or sale of its products shall be to refund the buyer's purchase price, provided such products have been demonstrated in AMERICAN SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. sole opinion, to justify such refund.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
RTV silicone rubber base compounds and the curing agents for addition cure products are non-hazardous and practically non-toxic. Curing agents for condensation cure products contain tin soaps which can irritate eyes and skin of some individuals. Avoid contact with skin; if contact occurs, wash affected areas at once with soap and water. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes; call a physician.
PLEASE REFER TO MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR FURTHER FIRST AID INFORMATION.
