Details
Polycarbonate is specially formulated to meet the installation requirements for polycarbonate sheets. The product adheres perfectly, even without Primer Silicone, and sets quickly. It also provides good adhesion on non-porous substrates such as glass, porcelain, enamel, plastic and metal. Its exceptional resistance to UV rays, weathering and ageing, its excellent adhesive properties and high elasticity ensure maximum resistance over time. Polycarbonate is classified as a non-structural glazing sealant (type G) according to EN 15651-2.
Instructions for use
- Application surfaces such as frames must be clean, degreased and dry.
- Insert the cartridge in the gun, open the cartridge, screw on the applicator nozzle and cut the end off the nozzle to produce a suitable opening.
- Inject a generous amount of the sealant.
- Position the polycarbonate sheets on the frame.
- Secure the sheets with nuts and bolts.
- Seal the heads of the nuts and bolts and then apply the sealant between the frame and polycarbonate sheets to create a shell.
Sizes of the joint
Minimum depth = 6 mm. For thicknesses up to 10 mm the depth must be equal to the thickness of the joint and in any event not less than 6 mm. For thicknesses from 10 to 20 mm = at least 10 mm. For thicknesses greater than 20 mm = at least half the thickness.
Cleaning tools
Use solvents when the sealant is still wet; after setting only mechanically.
Note
Polycarbonate is not suitable for structural gluing.
Storage
Polycarbonate must be stored in a dry and cool place. Under these conditions the product is stable for at least 12 months. Half-used cartridges can be saved for approximately three months if closed properly

The neutral curing properties of Polycarbonate ensure that it does not emit hazardous or unpleasant odours. The product is therefore suitable for use in closed environments such as industrial facilities. It is ideal for the installation of polycarbonate sheets and plugging as well as for roofing, greenhouses, windows, skylights and solar panels. Preliminary tests should be conducted to check adhesion when using treated polycarbonate (UV proof).
