DOWSIL™ 1080 RTV Neutral Cure Silicone Sealant 300ml – Oxime Cure

DOWSIL 1080 RTV Neutral Cure Silicone Sealant 300ml

For industrial sealing and bonding applications that require a flexible, durable silicone material, DOWSIL 1080 RTV Silicone Sealant provides a convenient one-part solution. This neutral-cure silicone sealant uses an oxime curing system and forms a tough, flexible rubber when exposed to moisture in the air.

The 300ml cartridge format is suitable for maintenance teams, workshops, equipment manufacturers and industrial users who require a ready-to-apply silicone sealant for joints, enclosures and gasket applications.

DOWSIL 1080 RTV Silicone Sealant for Industrial Applications

DOWSIL 1080 RTV Silicone Sealant is designed for general industrial sealing and bonding. Its paste-like consistency helps keep the material in position during application, while its flexible cured form supports sealing applications where some movement may occur.

Dow identifies applications including formed-in-place gaskets, glass-to-metal sealing, access doors, duct joints, cement surfaces and metal pipes.

Neutral-Cure Oxime Silicone Technology

The sealant uses a neutral oxime cure system rather than an acid-curing acetoxy system. This is an important consideration when selecting a silicone sealant for corrosion-sensitive substrates.

The neutral-cure formulation is intended for use on a range of materials, including selected chrome, copper and steel surfaces. However, compatibility depends on the exact substrate, finish and operating conditions, so testing is recommended for critical assemblies. Non-Sag Paste Consistency

The non-sag paste consistency helps the product stay where it is applied instead of flowing excessively over vertical surfaces. This is useful when sealing equipment housings, access doors, joints and other assemblies where controlled placement is important.

Once cured, the sealant forms a tough, flexible rubber that helps maintain a seal under suitable service conditions.

Flexible Sealing from −40°C to 150°C

DOWSIL 1080 RTV Silicone Sealant has a manufacturer-stated temperature range of −40°C to 150°C. Its flexible silicone structure makes it suitable for applications exposed to temperature variation within the specified operating range.

This is a general service-temperature range, not a claim that every joint will perform identically at both extremes. Joint geometry, substrate adhesion, sealant thickness, exposure and mechanical loading all influence the final result.

Formed-in-Place Gaskets and Joint Sealing

The product can be considered for formed-in-place gasket applications in general industrial equipment. It can also be used for sealing suitable joints between dissimilar materials where a flexible silicone seal is required.

Typical applications include:

• Formed-in-place gaskets
• Industrial equipment housings
• Access doors and covers
• Glass-to-metal joints
• Duct joints
• Metal pipes
• Selected cement-surface joints
• General industrial bonding and sealing
• Corrosion-sensitive metal assemblies

Always confirm the suitability of the sealant for the specific fluid, pressure, substrate and joint design before use.

Glass, Metal and Equipment Enclosures

DOWSIL 1080 is identified for glass-to-metal sealing and for general sealing of access doors. Its flexibility can be useful where dissimilar materials meet and their movement characteristics differ.

For equipment enclosures, apply the sealant to appropriately prepared surfaces and allow sufficient exposure to atmospheric moisture for curing. The required cure time depends on bead dimensions and environmental conditions, so follow the current manufacturer’s technical documentation. One-Part, Ready-to-Apply Formulation

The one-part formulation eliminates the need to mix separate components before application. This can simplify routine maintenance, workshop repairs and industrial assembly tasks.

The product cures at room temperature when exposed to moisture. Keep the cartridge properly closed before use and follow the manufacturer’s storage and handling instructions to maintain product quality.
