- High adhesion strength accommodates minor joint movements
- Excellent elasticity with over 500% elongation at break
- Maintains flexibility between -30°C and +120°C after curing
- Resistant to detergents, cleaning agents, and diluted chemicals
Surface Preparation
- The substrate must be free from dust, oil, paint, silicone residues, detergents, and any substances that may impair adhesion.
- Old silicone residues must be completely removed mechanically.
- The application area may be masked with masking tape for neat joint lines.
- Primer is generally not required on non-porous surfaces such as ceramic tiles, glass, and glazed ceramics; however, some painted or synthetic surfaces may require a primer.
Application Instructions
- Cut the cartridge tip appropriately and place it into a caulking gun.
- Cut the nozzle at a 45° angle according to the desired joint width.
- Apply the silicone continuously along the joint.
- Tool the surface using a suitable finishing tool.
- Remove masking tape within 5 minutes after application.
- Excess material can be cleaned with alcohol or solvent within the first 5 minutes.
Recommended Joint Width
Curing Information
- Curing rate: 3 mm / 24 hours
- Skin formation time: 20 ± 5 minutes
Application Limitations
- Do not apply below +5°C or above +35°C.
- Not suitable for aquariums, mirror bonding, or glazed surface bonding applications.
- Acetic acid vapors are released during curing; therefore, it should not be used on electronic components or sensitive metal surfaces.
- Not recommended for porous substrates such as concrete, marble, and natural stone.
- Not suitable for completely enclosed areas, as moisture is required for curing.
- Not paintable after curing.
- Not intended for structural glazing or structural bonding applications.
