Acetic Standard

Silicone Acetic Standard is suitable for most substrates commonly found in construction sites. It hardens very rapidly and is exceptionally resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents. The presence of an antimicrobial agent and an algae inhibitor in the formulation makes it suitable for sanitary environments too: the product is resistant to boiling water and washing with chemically-aggressive detergents, thus contributing to surface hygiene. Its excellent adhesive and high elasticity properties, make it suitable for outdoor use as well as a suitable sealant for the perimetral connetion joints between the window and wall. Due to its low elastic modulus product can be used also for joints of facade elements. It has excellent adhesion even without Primer Silicon on glass, stoneware or glazed surfaces and has good adhesion to the majority of non-porous substrates. Acetic Standard is classified F-EXT/INT-CC in compliance with EN 15651-1, and XS type in compliance with EN 15651-3.

Instructions for use

• The sides of the joint must be clean, free of grease of any kind and dry. With porous substrates it is recommended first to treat with Silicon Primer. In case of deep expansion joints it is better to plug with with rigid shaped foam elements before sealing.
• Apply adhesive tape along the sides of the joint.
• Insert the cartridge in the application gun, open it, screw on the spout and cut off the tip to obtain a sufficient opening.
• Extrude an abundant quantity of sealant.
• Smooth off with a damp paint scraper within 5 minutes of application, exerting enough pressure to remove any air bubbles.
• Remove the adhesive tape.

Cleaning of tools
While the sealant is in the plastic state use solvents; following setting clean only mechanically.

Storage

Acetic Standard must be stored in a cool, dry place. Stored in these conditions the product will keep for at least 24 months. Partly used cartridges can be stored for approx. 3 months provided they are tightly closed.
