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.

LIMITATIONS

Sealant Application:

    • Correct application according to technical recommendations and related standards is crucial for ensuring sealant function.
    • Avoid applying the sealant in situations with strongly fluctuating temperatures to prevent premature stressing.

Compatibility:

    • The sealant is compatible with many paints and lacquers; however, conduct own tests for adhesion and compatibility due to the variety of coating systems available.
    • Note that alkyd resin-based paints may cause discoloration when combined with neutral curing silicones.
    • The sealant is not overpaintable.

Substrate Considerations:

    • Exercise caution when applying to powder-coated substrates, as adhesion may vary depending on the coating used, especially across different colors of the same brand.
    • Discoloration and/or loss of adhesion may occur when in contact with bituminous, tar-, or plasticizer-releasing substrates like EPDM, neoprene, or butyl.

Environmental Factors:

    • Ensure good ventilation during application and curing to facilitate the evaporation of curing by-products.
    • Low temperatures, low humidities, and joint depths exceeding 15 mm can significantly delay skin formation and curing.

Chemical Exposure:

    • Prolonged exposure to liquid (e.g., acid-based cleaning agents, strongly colored liquids) or gaseous chemicals (e.g., tobacco smoke) may cause discoloration, particularly for light colors like white.
    • Note that the mechanical properties of the sealant are generally not adversely affected by chemical exposure.
