Application

Description
A low modulus silicone sealant for glass to glass joints, perimeter pointing of aluminium and PVCU windows.
Benefits and features:
- Not recommended for overpainting or for use with polycarbonate or acrylic sheeting.
- Resistant to most alkalis and dilute acids; organic solvents may cause the sealant to swell and lose adhesion, but do not directly dissolve the material.
- Burns, but will not readily ignite, so does not constitute a fire hazard.
- Should not cause migratory staining on porous surfaces, but dirt and dust washed into or around joints by rainwater may cause pattern staining.
- The sealant itself may discolour in contact with rubbers, bituminous or pitch-based DPCs.
- Contact with some metals may also cause discolouration.
- Very good UV resistance.
- Available in five standard colours.
- Correctly applied, the sealant should not require maintenance, and has an anticipated life in excess of 25 years.
- Health and safety: The product is labelled as harmful. Its use should be recorded in the Project Health and Safety Plan.
