Cromar AlphaChem 800LMN+ is ideal for sealing and connecting joints in glass and window construction, metal structures, and porous substrates like concrete, plasterboard, and brick, this silicone is the ideal choice. However, it’s important to note that it’s unsuitable for certain applications. Avoid using it in aquarium construction, on marble or natural stone, for underwater applications, as a mirror adhesive, or in areas with direct food contact. Additionally, it’s not recommended for use with plastics that typically have poor adhesion to silicone.
APPLICATION
Substrate Pretreatment:
-
- Ensure the substrate is dry, firm, and free from dust and grease; clean with isopropanol if needed.
- Porous substrates such as concrete, plasterboard, and untreated wood require priming; remove any cement slurry, mold release agents, or impregnations before priming.
- In renovation projects, fully remove old sealant, remnants of paint, and loose material.
- Test compatibility with the sealant on coated substrates like paints and lacquers.
Joint Preparation:
-
- Always use a suitable, correctly dimensioned joint backing (e.g., PE cord, rock wool) to prevent adhesion on three faces.
- To maintain a clean joint and prevent contamination, consider masking the joint edges with adhesive tape before primer application and filling.
Joint Dimensions:
-
- For indoor applications, joint dimensions should be at least 5 x 5 mm; for outdoor applications, dimensions should be 10 x 8 mm (width x depth).
- Increase joint depth to roughly half the joint width for wider joints (up to 30 mm).
- Ensure triangular bevels have uniform sides of equal length with at least 7 mm bonding surface on each side.
Tooling:
-
- Apply the sealant with a suitable manual, battery-powered, or pneumatic caulking gun.
- Smooth the sealant in the joint using water or a neutral, non-staining water-based smoothing agent with a suitable tool (e.g., jointing trowel).
- Smoothing is recommended for optical reasons and to establish close contact and good adhesion to the substrate; remove excess smoothing agent to avoid schlieren.
- Remove any adhesive tape used immediately after smoothing.
- Consider using the FS caulking gun and FS jointing trowel for optimal results.
