RTV-1 is a one-component, Room Temperature Vulcanization silicone rubber that cures at room temperature.
RTV-2 silicones are two-component, Room Temperature Vulcanization silicone rubbers, gels or foams.
Heat Cured Rubber is a silicone elastomer formed of straight chains with very high molecular weight.
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a two-component system, where long polysiloxane chains are reinforced with specially treated silica.
