RTV Silicone safe to use with TPE?
RTV Silicone safe to use with TPE?
I'm going to order a TPE insert and perform some trials but I thought I'd open the discussion to invite comments from those of you with experience in this.
I'm wondering about how to prepare the surface, I'm thinking it'll need to be thoroughly degreased.

Re: RTV Silicone safe to use with TPE?
Here you can see 3 different silicone adhesives and how it looks like applied on TPE.
From top to bottom:
1. Shin-Etsu 1 Component RTV (came with my 4woods silicone doll / is of thick consistency)
2. Wacker Elastosil E41 RTV-1 (is of thin consistency and very easy to handle for silicone repair)
3. Permatex Clear RTV silicone #80050 (thick consistency / mentioned from TDF user as "TPE glue")
On the left side you can see the applied silicone adhesives (enlarged) and on the right side how the silicone adhesives have been easily removed with a "finger wipe" after the curing time.
(The small cuts inside the TPE are old, because it is a test piece)
As you can see, nothing happened to the TPE surface.
Silicone adhesive includes acetic acid and that does no liquefaction or dissolution inside the TPE structure.
Thinning silicone adhesive with solvents for making it more aggressiv against TPE does also not bring an effect, because the acetic acid within the compound prevents this all the time.

Prepare your surfaces with 75% isopropyl rubbing alcoholKaori wrote:Is it safe to use RTV Silicone caulk with TPE?
You can use that for eyelashes eyebrows and sealing makeup
I'm going to order a TPE insert and perform some trials
Do not use it as a repair agent for tears. No good hold on high stress area.
but I thought I'd open the discussion to invite comments from those of you with experience in this.

Could you use neutral cure maybe?Indigo20 wrote:Thinning silicone adhesive with solvents for making it more aggressiv against TPE does also not bring an effect, because the acetic acid within the compound prevents this all the time.
The one thing I observed is that the silicone remains unset when in the absence of air (as it would in the tube from where it's stored).
So the applications will be limited to the surface.
Thanks samara78 *(you quoted me and responded to me inside the quotes btw)

Its actually the absence of humidity( water), not air( oxygen).Kaori wrote:The one thing I observed is that the silicone remains unset when in the absence of air (as it would in the tube from where it's stored).

Kind regards.

Do you use permatex to inject under the foot of TPE and silicone dolls to avoid foot damage?

Just curious about whether those are compatible with TPE
