Preparation

 

The substrate areas that will be in contact with the sealant must be clean, dry and free of all loose material, dust, dirt, rust, oil and other contaminants. Non-porous substrates should be cleaned with a solvent and a clean, lint-free, cotton cloth. Wipe dry immediately with another such cloth before the solvent evaporates from the surface.

 

Adhesion

 

 exhibits excellent primerless adhesion to most non-porous siliceous material, e.g. glass, tiles, ceramics, enamel, glazed tiles and clinker; impregnated, varnished or painted wood; and some plastics.

Users must carry out their own tests due to the great variety of substances.

The adhesion can be improved in many cases by pretreatment of the substrates with a primer.

If adhesion difficulties arise please contact our technical service.

 

Storage

WACKER® GA has a shelf life of at least 15 months when stored at a cool dry place (below  25 Grad Celsius).

The 'Best use before end' date of each batch is shown on the product label.

 

Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
