Key Features & Basic Specifications

  • Key Features & Product Performance

    • Two-Component Neutral Curing: Component A silicone base and Component B curing agent react after mixing to form a durable silicone elastomer, supporting curing throughout the applied sealant bead.

    • Structural Bonding Performance: Published tensile adhesion strength ≥0.90 MPa under standard conditions, with reported results ≥0.68 MPa at 90°C, −30°C, and after water immersion and UV exposure.

    • High-Modulus Elasticity: Modulus at 10% elongation ≥0.15 MPa and Shore A hardness of 30–60 provide mechanical properties for selected structural IGU edge-sealing applications.

    • Production Line Application: Two-component IGU sealant can be applied using compatible metering, mixing, and dispensing equipment. Proper equipment calibration is necessary for consistent mixing.

    • Weather Resistance: The cured silicone secondary sealant is developed to withstand temperature changes and environmental exposure in insulating glass edge-sealing systems.

  • Insulating Glass Secondary Sealing System

    SEIMEDA two-component silicone sealant is designed for the secondary sealing stage of dual-sealed insulating glass production. It works with the PIB primary sealant and spacer system to provide edge bonding, mechanical stability, and long-term protection.

    IGU Component Function in the Sealing System
    PIB / Butyl Primary Sealant Forms the primary barrier against moisture vapor and insulating gas leakage
    Two-Component Silicone Secondary Sealant Provides edge bonding, mechanical support, and weather resistance
    Spacer System Maintains the designed glass separation and supports the edge-sealing structure
    Desiccant Adsorbs residual moisture inside the insulating glass cavity

    Our silicone secondary sealant is particularly suited to insulating glass manufacturing applications requiring strong edge bonding and resistance to temperature changes.

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.
