AND WHEN TO USE THEM

RTV COLORS

Have you ever wondered why there are so many different colors of RTV and when to use them? If you’re like me, you wonder, but just grab Ultra Grey and move on with your life. I finally decided to educate myself about RTV and find out what I’ve been doing wrong. Let’s start with: What is RTV? RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanization, keep reading to find out why and how to use it. I found most information available online is not very helpful. I reached out to my professional mechanic friends to see what they knew, while they all had their own opinions, none were willing to go on record to tell me when to use each color of RTV and why. So, I went right to the source, Permatex, the makers of RTV, to help me.

Our RTV expert at Permatex is Curtis Haines, formerly the Technical Service Manager at Permatex, now the Inside Sales Manager. It was a blast chatting with him, and I know we only scratched the surface of his knowledge. Let’s dive into what Curtis shared with me during our conversation.
