Focus on Window Construction Sealant Delivers Aggressive Adhesion in Aluminum Window Manufacturing
"The semi-flowable nature of this material allows it to seal very complex extrusion profiles without the need for tooling," explained Dow Corning Market Specialist Doug Kempf. "It's an ideal narrow-joint seam sealer, providing a barrier against air and water in window-sash or frame components that are mechanically fastened, mitered or slip-jointed.
"Because of its high extrusion rate and fast, room-temperature cure, the product is ideally suited for high-speed manufacturing," Kempf added. The flow rate of >700 grams per minute allows easy pumping, and a skin-over time of just 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature facilitates optimum line speeds.
