Purpose/Material Description.

This standard describes the requirements for a Room-Temperature- Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone material for battery pack sealing. This silicone adhesive/sealant requires no catalyst or heat to cure. When applied wet (uncured) it reacts with moisture in the air (condensation cure) releasing an alcohol (methanol) by-product and fully cures to an elastomeric product adhering to most clean surfaces without need of a primer. Adhesively bonded and fully cured adhesive/sealant acts as a barrier to keep exterior elements out and will also contain hot gases from entering the exterior of the battery pack in the event of a thermal runaway event.
