General Information

P-824 is a fast curing, sprayable or trowelable addition reacted, platinum cured RTV-2 silicone specially designed for use as a reusable vacuum bag. Does not sag as some bagging materials do requiring additional work to keep from pooling. High tear, tensile and elongation along with high temperature resistances make this an excellent choice for working with polyester, epoxy or urethane systems. Rapid demold time allows for immediate use in production when working with prepreg intensifiers, bladders, aluminum or prepreg double bonding, epoxy infusion and other autoclave applications.
