Surface Preparation
- Surfaces must be completely free from dust, oil, paint, silicone residues, curing compounds, and any contaminants that may affect adhesion.
- Existing cured silicone must be completely removed mechanically.
- Masking tape may be used to define joint boundaries for a cleaner finish.
- No primer is required on non-porous surfaces such as glass, ceramic, and tiles.
- Primers may be required on painted or synthetic surfaces.
Application Instructions
- Cut the cartridge tip and attach the nozzle.
- Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle according to the required joint width.
- Apply evenly along the joint using a cartridge gun.
- Smooth the sealant with an appropriate finishing tool.
- Remove masking tape within 5 minutes.
- Clean excess silicone within 5 minutes using alcohol or solvent.
Joint Width
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.
- Acetic acid vapor is released during curing; therefore, it should not be used on electronic equipment or sensitive metal surfaces.
- Not recommended for porous surfaces such as concrete, marble, and natural stone.
- Do not use in completely enclosed areas, as moisture is required for curing.
- Not paintable.
- Not suitable as a structural adhesive.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where can it be used?
Suitable for sinks, countertops, shower cabins, glass installation, window sealing, and interior/exterior joint filling applications.
Can it be painted over?
No. Paint will not adhere to silicone surfaces.
Can it be used for aquarium construction?
No. It is not suitable for aquarium applications.
What is the curing time?
Skin formation occurs in approximately 20 minutes, while curing progresses at a rate of 3 mm per 24 hours.
Can it be applied over old silicone?
No. Existing silicone must be completely removed before application.
Can it be used outdoors?
Yes. Its UV resistance makes it suitable for exterior applications.
What temperatures can it withstand?
It maintains elasticity between -30°C and +120°C.
On which surfaces is it not recommended?
It is not recommended for porous surfaces such as concrete, marble, and natural stone.
Is primer required on non-porous surfaces?
No. Primer is generally not required on surfaces such as tiles, ceramics, and glass.
Can it be applied in completely enclosed areas?
No. Moisture is required for the curing process.
