Fast Curing Silicone Sealant for Aquarium

RTV-1, Acetoxy-curing, special for aquarium Fast curing, short skin forming Excellent adhesion & mechanical property

Characteristics

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT is one-component, acetic-curing silicone sealant with excellent mechanical properties and high curing rate for aquarium and industrial applications.

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT cures at room temperature under the action of atmospheric moisture to give a permanently flexible silicone rubber.

Special characteristics

¨        Non-sag

¨        Ready gunnability at low (+5°C) and high (+40°C) temperatures.

¨        Flexible at low (-40°C) and high temperatures (+100°C)

¨        Fast cross-linking: quickly becomes tack-free

¨        Low shrinkage during vulcanization.

¨        Flexible at low(-40°C )and high temperatures(+150°C)

¨        Good tooling characteristics

¨        Excellent water proofing property

Color:

Transparent, Black, White, Grey,

other colors are available according customer's require

Application

Aquarium sealing

Large plate glass sealing

Sealing of joints exposed to high mechanical loads

Sealing of joints which need to quickly build up mechanical strength

Adhesion

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT exhibits excellent primerless adhesion to most non-porous siliceous material, e.g. glass, tiles, ceramics, enamel, glazed tiles and clinker; impregnated, varnished or painted wood and some plastics.

Users must carry out their own tests due to the great variety of substances.

The adhesion can be improved in many cases by pretreatment of the substrates with a primer.

Restrictions on use

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT may be discolored in contact with some organic elastomers, e.g. EPDM, APTK and neoprene.

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT is not recommended for use on substrates, such as marble, concrete, fibrous cement and mortar, as the product releases acetic acid during curing.

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT should not be used in contact with metals such as lead, cooper, brass or zinc as corrosion will result.

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT is not recommended for use on natural stone, such as marble, granite, quartzite, as it can cause staining.

AQUARIUM SILICONE SEALANT is not recommended for sealing of aquaria.

The curing time can be extended at lower temperature, low humidity or by low volume of air change.
