Areas of application

• For the structural assembly of glass curtain walls
• Particularly suitable for the structural bonding of glass and metal elements of curtain wall units in workshop assemblies and for the structural bonding of insulating glass assemblies.

Direction for use

• Clean the surface of the material to be bonded with acetone or other solvent and keep it dry before application.
• Ensure that the sealant is in close contact with the substrate and that there are no gaps in the adhesive.
• Apply low viscosity tape to the area to be protected, trim and remove the tape before the adhesive has cured.

Restrictions on use

• Not suitable for use on oily or oozing surfaces, frosty or wet surfaces and should not be applied to surfaces where the temperature of the material is below 4°C or above 40°C.
• Not suitable for use in densely ventilated areas (silicone sealants need to be cured by absorbing moisture from the air)
• Not suitable for use in areas subject to abrasion or physical damage. l Not suitable for use in areas where there is direct contact with food surfaces Cautions
• Before using the product, the user must carry out compatibility and adhesion tests to confirm that the product and the substrate can meet the requirements of the application.
• The product should be designed correctly according to the actual force of the interface, so that the sealant has the proper effect and meets the displacement capacity of the interface.
• The width of the butt joint should be not less than 6mm but not more than 15mm and the thickness of the adhesive layer should be not less than 3mm but not more than 5mm.
• In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice; avoid contact with children

Storage

The silicone sealant should be stored in a cool, dry place below 27°C. The storage period is 9 months from the date of manufacture.
