RTVS 828
LOW VISCOSITY RTV SILICONE POTTING/CASTING COMPOUND
DESCRIPTION
RTVS 828 is a low viscosity, general purpose, reversion resistant RTV Silicone compound. RTVS 828 finds use in commercial potting/casting applications. RTVS 828's one-to-one ratio by weight or volume makes it ideal for dispensing equipment or unskilled labor. With the ability to cure rapidly at elevated temperatures, RTVS 828 can be processed quickly in production situations.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Premix RTVS 828 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 3-5 minutes, scraping both the bottom and the sides of mixing container.
4. Where absolutely void-free castings are required, evacuate the mixed RTVS 828 at 29 in. Hg for 3-4 minutes.
5. Pour into unit or mold.
CURE SCHEDULES:
Overnight at room temperature (24 hours at 25°C.), OR, 1 hour at 60°C., OR, 15 minutes at 95°C.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Certain materials may inhibit the cure of RTVS 828 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.
HEALTH CAUTION:
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.
