Dow Corning 730 Solvent Resistant Sealant is a ready-to-use, solventless, nonslumping fluorosilicone rubber
paste that reacts with moisture in the air to form a tough, rubbery solid. It is a fluid-resistant material that is ideally suited for use in many applications
where resistance to fumes, splash, and sometimes even total immersion in fuels, oils and solvents is needed.
Dow Corning 730 Solvent Resistant Sealant features good resistance to weathering, vibration, moisture, ozone,
and temperature extremes. It retains its flexibility over a wide temperature range from -85 to 500°F (-65 to 260°C).
Dow Corning 730 Solvent Resistant Sealant can be applied overhead or on vertical surfaces without fear of sagging, slumping or running off.
RTV730 Solvent Resistant Sealant Material Safety Data SheetsDow Corning 730 Solvent Resistant Sealant is used primarily for bonding, sealing and caulking applications
where resistance to the swelling effects of fuels, oils and solvents is needed. It can be used for assembling and/or repairing the fuel lines and tanks of cars, small engines, aircraft and rockets. Other potential applications
include:
Sealing seams on various liquid storage tanks
Sealing aerospace and automotive fuel lines and tanks
Providing temporary patch for rubber linings exposed to corrosive conditions
Sealing pipe joints on lines carrying corrosive chemicals and solvents
Providing formed-in-place gaskets for sealing chemical compressors
Providing formed-in-place gaskets where irregular shapes and harsh conditions reject ordinary seals
Bonding or sealing components exposed to moisture, vibration, shock, certain fuels, oils and solvents for
long periods of time
Providing formed-in-place gaskets for sealing insulators and entrance ports on fluid-filled distribution
transformersDow Corning 730 Solvent Resistant Sealant is not recommended:
For continuous underwater immersion where adhesion or
structural bonding is required
On concrete, brick, mortar or other masonry surfaces
On surfaces to be painted; paints do not adhere well to sealant (paint before applying sealant)
On materials such as impregnated woods or oil-based caulks that bleed oils
In totally confined areas; atmospheric moisture is required for cure on Teflon1-coated materials,
polyethylene, polypropylene or methylmethacrylate Plexiglas2); sealant will not adhere well
On or near sensitive metals such as copper, brass, zinc, carbon steel, galvanized iron or magnesium; these
metals may be corroded, especially in confined cure conditions, due to the acetic acid released during the
cure
With solvents such as acetone or ketones |
