• Maintains elasticity after curing between -30°C and +120°C
• Resistant to detergents and diluted chemicals
• Provides long-lasting performance for both indoor and outdoor use

Surface Preparation

• Surfaces must be clean and free from dust, oil, paint, silicone residues, curing compounds, and form-release agents.
• Old silicone residues must be completely removed.
• Masking tape may be used to prevent overflow during application.
• No primer is required on non-porous surfaces such as ceramic, glass, and tiles.
• Some synthetic and painted surfaces may require a primer.

Application Instructions

• Fit the nozzle and cut it at a 45° angle.
• Apply evenly using a cartridge gun.
• Smooth the joint with an appropriate finishing tool.
• Remove masking tape within 5 minutes.
• Excess silicone can be cleaned with alcohol or solvent within the first 5 minutes; afterward, only mechanical cleaning is possible.

Joint Width

• 5–20 mm

Curing Information

• Curing rate: 3 mm / 24 hours
• Skin formation time: 20 ± 5 minutes

Precautions

• Do not apply below +5°C or above +35°C.
• Not suitable for aquariums, mirror bonding, or glazed surfaces.
• Releases acetic acid during curing; therefore, it is not recommended for electronic equipment or sensitive metal surfaces.
• Not recommended for porous substrates such as concrete, marble, and natural stone.
• Do not apply in completely enclosed environments, as moisture is required for curing.
• Not paintable.
• Not suitable as a structural adhesive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which surfaces can it be used on?
