Silicone Sealant for Construction
Characteristics
- Easy to use, good extrudability and rheopexy over the temperature range from 4 and + 40 , direct application to constructions with sealant gun.
- Neutral cure, non-corrosive to metal, coated glass, concrete, marbles, granite, and many other building materials, wide scope of application.
- With a property of giving off low-molecule substance during curing, without pungent or unpleasant odor.
- Outstanding weatherability, and resistance against ultra-violet rays ,ozone and water.
- Outstanding extreme temperature resistance, not to crack, harden or become fragile even at the temperature of 50 after cure, not to degrade or become soft under the temperature of +150, always good elasticity .
- Excellent unprimed adhesion to most building materials.
- Good compatibility with other neutral silicone sealants.
Basic Uses
- In the installation of windows and doors, for glazing glass.
- A variety of other uses.
Applicable Standards
Guibao 996 Neutral Silicone Sealant meets or even exceeds the following standards
- China Q/ 71304249-7.004-2005
- U.S.A ASTM C 920-98
Colors
Guibao 996 is available in black, brown, gray, and other custom-made colors.
Packaging
Guibao 996 is supplied in 350ml plastic cartridges (net 300ml).
Storage and Shelf Life
Guibao 996 should be stored in cool and dry places over the temperature range from 0 to 27 , under which the shelf life is nine months from the date of manufacture as indicated on product
Curing Time
As exposed air, the sealant begins to cure in a surface-to-interior sequence. Its tack-free time is about 0.7 hour, and the final cure and optimum adhesion occurs 14 days later.

Application Limitations
Guibao 996 should not be applied
- As structural sealant.
- To the materials that will bleed oil, plasticizer or solvent, such as pregnated wood.
- To the places totally confined as sealant requires atmospheric moisture to cure.
- To damp or frost-laden surfaces.
- To places damp all the year round or in continuous immersion in water.
- When surface temperature is below 4 or over 40,recommendation is not recommended.
Safe-handling Information
Completely cured Guibao 996 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 996 should be kept away from children. The product will give off low-molecule substance, so construction area and cure area should be kept well ventilated to avoid the unfavorable effect on human health caused by the over-concentration of low-molecule substance.
