Following cleaning procedure and materials are recommended: |
Glass | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
Aluminium, light alloys and stainless steel | Degrease with alcohol or MEK |
Other Metals | Lightly abrade then degrease as above |
Wood | Lightly abrade surface then remove dust |
Plastics | Degrease using an agent recommended by plastics manufacturer |
Instructions
1.Ensure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry and grease free;
2.The application temperature must be between +5℃ and +40℃;
3.After the application, the sealant must be tooled with light pressure within 5 minutes to spread the material against the joint surfaces and to obtain a professional finish;
4.Excess uncured sealant may be cleaned with solvent. Cured sealant can be removed barely mechanically;
5.6mm.joint depth is recommended for joint widths between 6 mm to 12mm;
6.After the construction of aquarium is complete, wait for minimum of 21 days before usage.
Standards
Meets or exceeds the requirements of the following speci-fications:
1.ISO 11600 F & G 20LM;
2.CE marked for EN 15651 for façade, glazing and sanitary;
3.The requirements of VOC content specifications in LEED credit EQc4.1 "Low-emitting products" of SCAQMD rule 1168.
Safety & Disposal
Inhalation of the sealant vapor for a long period must be avoided. The application area must be ventilated properly.The uncured sealant must not be contacted for a long period. Cured silicone rubber bears no risk to health.temperatures between +5℃ and +25℃. Check MSDS guide-lines for disposal and further information concerning safety.
Restrictions
1.It must not be used in totally confined spaces where sealant cannot cure due to lack of atmospheric moisture;
2.Not over paintable;
3.Do not expose to water before fully cured;
4.Do not use in conjunction with bitumen asphalt,neoprene and certain organic elastomers;
5.Do not use to produce swimming pool joints;
6.Can yellow if exposed to bleach or HCL based brick clean-ers whilst curing.
