Self-adhesive HTV Silicone Rubber Applications

Self-adhesive HTV silicone rubber is formulated in a similar way to self-adhesive LR. The ready-to-use formulation contains all adhesion promoters. However, other than LR, which is two component and addition curing only, self-adhesive HTV can be purchased both, as peroxide and addition curing. Because of fundamental differences in curing speed between self-adhesive peroxide cured HTV and addition cured HTV the applications differ quite substantially. 

Furthermore, HTV silicone rubbers exhibit better mechanical properties than LR. As a consequence applications might differ for the self-adhesive versions of these two family of products, apart from much better adhesion to steel in case of self-adhesive HCR.
