Two-Component Structural Silicone Sealant for Insulating Glass Units (IGU)

Two-component silicone sealant is a high-modulus structural silicone sealant specially developed for structural bonding and secondary sealing of insulating glass units (IGU). The two components are precisely mixed by dedicated dispensing equipment, forming a high-strength elastic silicone rubber after curing, ensuring long-term structural integrity and airtight sealing of IGUs.

 

Key advantages include:

Structural strength exceeding relevant standards by over 1.5×

Extremely low water vapor transmission rate, maintaining IGU dryness

Outstanding weather resistance with stable performance from -50°C to +150°C

Excellent adhesion to various glass types and spacer systems

It is a critical material for the safety and durability of curtain wall insulating glass systems.

FAQ

  • Q

    What is the main difference between two-component and one-component sealants for insulating glass?

    A

    Two-component sealants cure independently of ambient humidity, offering faster deep curing and higher strength, ideal for production lines and large projects. One-component sealants are more suitable for on-site repair or small-volume applications.

  • Q

    Are there any requirements for spacer materials?

    A

    Compatible with aluminum, stainless steel, and composite spacers. Compatibility testing is recommended for new materials.

  • Q

    What application equipment is required?

    A

    A dedicated two-component dispensing machine with a static mixer is required, calibrated according to the recommended mixing ratio.

  • Q

    Is black the only available color?

    A

    Standard color is black for easy visual inspection of proper mixing. Custom colors are available upon request.

  • Q

    What happens if the mixing ratio is incorrect?

    A

    Incorrect mixing may result in incomplete curing, reduced strength, or tacky surfaces. Strict adherence to the specified ratio is essential.

  • Q

    What is the recommended application temperature?

    A

    Recommended application temperature is 10°C–40°C. Temperatures outside this range may affect curing and performance.

     

  • Q

    Is it compatible with the primary IG sealant?

    A

    Compatible with common primary sealants such as butyl rubber; compatibility testing is advised beforehand.

  • Q

    How long does full curing take?

    A

    Initial strength is achieved within 24–48 hours, with full performance reached in about 7 days, depending on conditions.

     

  • Q

    Is it suitable for structural insulating glass applications?

    A

    Yes. With high strength and excellent weather resistance, it is widely used in structural IG systems.

  • Q

    What are the storage conditions and shelf life?

    A

    Store in sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Standard shelf life is 12 months.
