Aerospace & Defence

Silicones offer a wide range of functional requirements including electrical isolation; optical coupling; vibration and mechanical dampening; corrosion, weathering and flame protection and providing a heat/insulation path. Momentive Performance Materials has a long history in the aerospace and aviation industry, their legacy RTV and FRV adhesive systems have supported countless applications for thousands of flight hours and their more recently developed SilCool* greases and adhesives offer exceptional structural adhesion and thermal management, improving electronics reliability and efficiency.

Momentive’s advanced RTV silicones maintain critical properties for an extended time over the wide range of extreme temperatures typically encountered by aircraft and spacecraft. They remain flexible in extremely low temperatures and are thermally insulative. Their silicones for thermal protection systems are available in paste to flowable viscosity. In addition, the aerospace thermal coating systems offer low-outgassing and electrically dissipative formulations to accommodate a wide range of aerospace and defence applications. Meeting or exceeding ASTM E595 testing standards established by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) opens up a world of possibilities for these advanced silicone technologies.
