Technical Data Sheet

Vibra-Tite® 995

RTV Clear Silicone

December 2012

Product Description

Vibra-TITE 995 is a multi-purpose silicone sealant
is a non-slump, paste-like, one-component RTV
designed for a wide variety of industrial sealing and
adhesive applications. It cures at room temperature
by reaction with moisture in the air to produce a
durable, flexible silicone rubber. This sealant can be
used in a number of diverse sealing and bonding
applications such as space-filling rubber adhesive or
formed-in-place gaskets. It has a broad serviceable
temperature range. Cured material stays flexible for
continuous use from –65°F (-53°C) to 450°F
(232°C).

Technical Features

Resistant to sunlight, rain, sleet, snow, ultraviolet
radiation, ozone and temperature extremes
Retains design properties even after years of
exposure – seals remain watertight and weatherproof.

Typical Applications

Vibra-TITE 995 is intended for use in general
industrial sealing and bonding applications.

Limitations:

Not recommended for use in applications involving:

 Structural silicone glazing
 Joints where physical abuse or abrasion is

likely to be encountered

 Prolonged water immersion
 Porous surfaces, such as masonry
 Building materials that might bleed oils,

plasticizers or solvents – materials such as
impregnated wood, oil-based caulks, green
or partially vulcanized rubber gaskets or
tapes

 Totally confined spaces, because the sealant

requires atmospheric moisture for cure

 Surfaces sensitive to corrosion by acetic acid

vapors (a byproduct of sealant cure)

 Surfaces that will be painted (paint will not

stretch with the extensions of the sealant and
may crack and peel); complete all painting
prior to using sealant

 Bonding to secondary seal of insulating

glass units sealed with two-part silicone
sealants

 This product is neither tested nor

represented as suitable for medical or
pharmaceutical uses
