Package
  • Cartridge Size: 300ml, 590ml
  • Available Colors: Clear/Transparent, White, Black, Gray, Customized
  • Packaging Type: Hard tube, Sausage pack/cartridge
  • Shelf Life: 12 months from production date (in sealed original container)
  • Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry place below 27°C

Step 1: Surface Preparation (CRITICAL for structural applications)

  • All substrates must be thoroughly cleaned and free from contamination, dust, oil, grease, moisture, and loose particles
  • Clean glass with appropriate solvents and wipe dry
  • Clean aluminum with isopropanol or approved cleaner
  • Allow surfaces to dry completely before application
  • Conduct adhesion tests on actual substrates before production application

Step 2: Priming (if required)

  • Apply appropriate primer if specified by adhesion test results
  • Follow primer manufacturer’s instructions for application and flash-off time
  • Typically, no primer is required for glass and anodized aluminum

Step 3: Joint Design (Follow structural calculations)

  • Bite depth and width must be determined by structural engineer
  • Typical bite depth: 6-12mm depending on glass size and wind load
  • Ensure proper clearance and no three-sided adhesion
  • Use setting blocks and spacers as per design

Step 4: Application

  • Cut nozzle to match bite width requirements
  • Load cartridge into professional-grade caulking gun or power applicator
  • Apply sealant in a continuous, uniform bead
  • Ensure complete fill with no voids or air pockets
  • Work methodically to maintain quality

Step 5: Curing (CRITICAL)

  • Allow full cure before glass installation: minimum 7 days, typically 14-21 days
  • Protect from contamination, moisture, and stress during cure
  • Do not handle or install glass panels before full cure
  • Monitor environmental conditions throughout cure period

Tips

Size Selection Guide:

  • 590ml: Best for large-scale structural glazing projects, commercial curtain walls, factory assembly
  • 300ml: Ideal for small structural projects, repairs, field touch-ups, residential applications

CRITICAL – Structural Application Requirements:

  • Engineering Approval Required: This product must be specified by qualified structural engineer
  • Mandatory Testing: Conduct adhesion tests on all actual substrates before production use
