Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Dow Corning Dowsil 995 Structural Glazing Silicone Sealant – White
1. How does the white version of Dow Dowsil 995 enhance structural glazing projects with visible joints?
The white version of Dow Dowsil 995 is designed for projects where the sealant will remain visible and needs to blend seamlessly with light-coloured or white frames, cladding, and glass elements. In architectural designs that prioritize aesthetics, such as minimalist or modern facades, the white sealant provides a clean and unobtrusive finish. This makes it ideal for projects where both structural integrity and visual appeal are crucial, such as retail stores, office buildings, and high-rise glass facades.
2. Is the white version of Dowsil 995 resistant to discoloration over time?
Yes, the white version of Dow Dowsil 995 is formulated with UV-stable properties to prevent discoloration and yellowing. This ensures that the sealant maintains its bright, clean appearance even after prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather conditions. The sealant’s resistance to UV rays, pollution, and environmental contaminants helps it remain aesthetically pleasing for years, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
3. Can the white sealant be used for both interior and exterior applications?
Absolutely. Dow Dowsil 995 is designed for both interior and exterior use, offering long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions. Indoors, it can be used to bond and seal glass, metal, and cladding panels in environments such as atriums, glass partitions, and skylights. Externally, the sealant’s weatherproof properties protect structural joints from water ingress, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for facades, curtain walls, and perimeter sealing around windows and doors.
4. How does the white version of Dowsil 995 handle joint movement in large structures?
The Dow Dowsil 995 is a low-modulus sealant, which means it can flex and absorb significant joint movement without losing adhesion or cracking. This flexibility is particularly important in large structures, such as skyscrapers and multi-story buildings, where expansion and contraction occur due to temperature changes, wind pressure, and structural shifts. The white sealant maintains both strength and flexibility, ensuring that joints remain secure even under dynamic load conditions, such as high wind loads or seismic activity.
5. What materials are compatible with the white version of Dowsil 995, and how should surfaces be prepared?
The white version of Dow Dowsil 995 is compatible with a wide range of construction materials, including glass, aluminium, steel, and composite cladding. Before application, it’s essential to prepare the surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and contaminants. For non-porous materials such as glass and metal, a solvent-based cleaner can be used to remove residues. If bonding to a highly porous or irregular surface, a primer may be required to enhance adhesion. Proper preparation helps the sealant form a strong, durable bond that resists environmental stresses and degradation over time.
