Silicone Sealant for Construction
Characteristics
- One-part, easy to use, good extrudability and rheopexy over the temperature from 4 to + 40, direct application into construction with sealant gun
- Neutral cure, non-corrosive to metal, coated glass, concrete, marbles, granite, and many other building materials.
- Without inert molecule elements such as plasticizer, non-staining to marbles, granite, and other porous materials, good seal and decorative performance. But common silicone sealants, weatherproof sealant in particular, is prone to stain stone materials and cannot be used for stone curtain walls.
- Excellent adhesion to various marbles, granite, cement panels and so on. Its seal performance will not be affected by the intrusion of wind, snow, rain or water.
- Giving off low-molecule alcoholic substance during curing, no pungent or odd odor.
- Excellent weatherability, resistance against aging, ultraviolet rays, ozone and water.
- Outstanding extreme temperature resistance, cured Guibao 997 will not crack, harden or become fragile even under the temperature of 50 , nor degrade or become soft under the temperature of +150 ,always good elasticity.
- Unprimed adhesion to most building materials.
- Good compatibility with other neutral silicone sealants.
Basic Uses
- Caulk seal in dry-hanging curtain wall constructions and precast cement panel constructions.
- Bond and caulk seal in pottery engineering.
- Seal the joint between stone and other materials such as glass, metal, plastic.
- A variety of other uses.

Application LimitationsGuibao997 should not be applied
- As structural sealant
- To the materials that will bleed oil, plasticizer or solvent, such as pregnated wood.
- To the totally confined places, as Guibao 999 requires atmospheric moisture to cure.
- To damp or frost-laden surfaces.
- To places damp all the year round or continuously immersed in water.
- When surface temperature is below 4 or over 40 ,application is not recommended.
Safe-Handling InformationCompletely cured Guibao 997 is not toxic, but avoid contacting with eyes before it is cured. If that happens, rinse with a lot of water and seek medical treatment. Uncured Guibao 997 should be kept away from children. The product will give off low-molecule substance, so construction area and cure area should be kept ventilated to avoid the unfavorable effect on human health caused by the over-concentration of low-molecule substance.
Curing TimeAs exposed to air, the sealant begins to cure in a surface-to-interior sequence.. Its tack-free time is about 0.5 hour; the final cure and optimum adhesion occurs 14 days later.
Technical ServiceComplete technical information and literature, adhesion testing, compatibility testing and stain testing are available from Guibao.
