Technical Specifications

Areas of Use

• Bathroom and kitchen joints (sinks, bathtubs, shower cabins, kitchen sinks, countertop edges)
• Glass installation and glazing applications
• Door and window sealing joints
• Insulation of window gasket gaps
• Interior and exterior elastic joint sealing applications

Advantages

• One-component and easy to apply
• UV resistant; does not yellow or crack
• Accommodates minor joint movements
• Provides excellent elasticity with over 500% elongation at break
• Maintains elasticity between -30°C and +120°C after curing
• Resistant to detergents and diluted chemicals

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

• 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.
• 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.
