Properties
Soudal All Purpose Silicone Is:
• Very easy to apply
• Permanently elastic after curing
• Very good adhesion on many materials
• UV-resistant
• Very good moisture resistance
• Very good resistance to ageing
• Neutral curing
• MEKO free
Applications
Soudal All Purpose Silicone is suitable for use on:
• All usual building joints with high movement.
• Glazing and joint works.
• Expansion joints between many different
construction materials.
• Sealing between PVC, treated wooden
and metal profiles and glass.
Packaging
Colour: beige, grey, alu grey, ivory, black, brilliant white, transparent, dark grey, stone, pewter, charcoal, alabaster, titania, taupe Packaging: 300 ml cartridge
Shelf life
15 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.
Substrates
Substrates: Soudal All Purpose Silicone is suitable for use on all usual building substrates provided these are:
rigid, clean, dry, free of dust and grease.
Surface preparation: Porous surfaces should be primed with Primer 150. Prepare non- porous surfaces with a Soudal activator or cleaner (see Technical Data Sheet).
There is no adhesion on PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®) and bituminous substrates. We recommend a preliminary adhesion and compatibility test on every surface.
Joint dimensions
Min. width for joints: 5 mm Max. width for joints: 30 mm Min. depth for joints: 5 mm
Recommendation sealing jobs: joint width = 2 x joint depth.
Application method
Application method: With manual- or pneumatic caulking gun.
Cleaning: Clean with White Spirit or Soudal Surface Cleaner immediately after use (before curing).
Finishing: With a soapy solution or Soudal Finishing Solution before skinning. Repair: With the same material.
Health- and Safety Recommendations
Take the usual labour hygiene into account. Consult label and material safety data sheet for more information.
Remarks
• Do not use Soudal All Purpose Silicone on natural stones like marble, granite,…(staining). Use Soudal Silirub MA or Silirub+ S8800 for this application.
• Direct contact of Soudal All Purpose Silicone with the secondary sealing of insulating glass units (insulation) and the PVB-film of safety glass must be avoided.
• A total absence of UV can cause a color change of the sealant.
• In an acid environment or in a dark room, a white sealant can slightly turn yellow. Under the influence of sunlight it will turn back to its initial colour.
• When finished with a finishing solution or soapy solution, make sure that the surfaces are not touched by this solution. This will cause the sealant not to adhere to that surface. Therefore we recommend to only dip the finishing tool in this solution.
• We strongly recommend not to apply the Finishing Solution in full sunlight as it will dry very fast in these circumstances.
• Do not use on polycarbonate. Use Silirub PC instead.
• Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
• When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.
• Contact with bitumen, tar or other plasticizer releasing materials such as EPDM, neoprene, butyl, etc. is to be avoided since it can give rise to discolouration and loss of adhesion.
