DOWSIL 895

Main features

  • 0 mm Flow/Sag
  • 600% Cured Elongation
  • 15-Minute Working Time

Product Description

DOWSIL 895 Structural Glazing Sealant is a one-part, neutral-cure silicone for structural bonding of glass, metal, and other building components, including attachment of stiffening elements to panels. Typical flow/sag is 0 mm, giving a non-slump application profile. Working time is 15 minutes, and tack-free time is 60 minutes at 50% relative humidity. Typical cured hardness is 38 Shore A. Documented adhesion substrates include glass, anodized aluminum, fluorocarbon-coated aluminum, polyester-powder-coated aluminum or steel, and stainless steel.

Key features

  • Non-slump flow profile: Typical flow/sag is 0 mm for a non-slump application profile.
  • Cured elongation: Typical cured elongation is 600%.
  • Working time: Working time is 15 minutes.

Applications

Structural bonding of glass and metal building components; stiffening-element attachment to building panels.

Technical Specifications

Mechanical Properties
Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something. It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks. It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.

General Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
