Is silicon based RTV conductive?

[radioouman]

I just used it to seal some wires against moisture. It is an insulator, right?

Iit isn't conductive but it might not be that great of an insulator for high current lines since it melts and sh!t yo.

Does it melt?
This will be fine. It is for wiring on a car.
Thanks!

Silicon is a semiconductor. Silicone is a polymer, and is decidedly nonconductive.

they seem to be high temp so you should be fine

Room Temperature Vulcanising Elastomers are excellent insulators and can withstand higher temperatures than a plethora of everyday thermoplastics.

Beat me to it.
