Used by many to seal windows and doors it provides a highly flexible seal that resists extreme temperatures and ultra-violet radiation. Low odour thanks to the neutral cure formula, Dowsil 796 offers good unprimed adhesion to a variety of substrates and comes in many different colours, making it a great choice for your outdoor sealing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for sealing PVC-U, glass, glazed surfaces and brickwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow odour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists extreme temperatures, ozone \u0026amp; UV radiation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood unprimed adhesion to a variety of substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ISO 11600-F\u0026amp;G-25LM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSealing of PVC-U, glass, glazed surfaces and brickwork; popular for perimeter sealing applications of windows and doors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrying Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cp\u003eTack-free: 35 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkeleton Gun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean Up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove as much product as possible from the equipment before cleaning following manufacturer's recommendations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and free from frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean all joints of dust, dirt, old sealants and other contaminants which could impair adhesion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-porous surfaces should be cleaned and degreased by wiping with a suitable solvent such as DOWSIL™ R-40 Universal Cleaner on an oil and lint-free cloth before application of sealant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous substrates should be mechanically cleaned using a steel brush, sanding disk or any similar means.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAreas adjacent to the joints should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of the substrates and to ensure a neat sealant line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen back-up material is required, a closed cell polyethylene backer rod is recommended. Low tack polyethylene tape should be used in joints too shallow to allow the use of a backer rod. Back-up materials provide back pressure and prevent three sided adhesion that limits sealant movement capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplication\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf possible test on a small area before you start to ensure compatibility.

Cut the tip off the cartridge and screw on the nozzle and cut the nozzle to the desired bead size. We recommend using the Geocel Cox Skeleton Gun for application. If back-up material is needed, it is recommended to use closed cell polyethylene backer rod. This will help provide back pressure and ensure proper sealant movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish for best results use Bedec Silicone Profilers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe width of the sealant joint should be designed to accommodate the sealant’s movement capability. For joints using DOWSIL™ 796 Neutral Silicone, the minimum width should be 6 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor joints between 6 mm and 12 mm, a seal depth of 6 mm is recommended. For joints wider than 12 mm, a width-to-depth ratio of 2:1 should be applied. In cases where fillet joints are required, ensure a minimum of 6 mm sealant bite on each substrate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways follow manufacturer's instructions found on the packaging\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAftercare \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/h2\u003eThis product has a usable life of 12 months from the date of production when stored in cool, dry conditions below 30°C in the original unopened containers.","brand":"Geocel","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":57448102068390,"sku":"foi1789762503286","price":10.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown","offer_id":57448102101158,"sku":"qus1789762503287","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bronze","offer_id":57448102133926,"sku":"nad1789762503288","price":9.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":57448102166694,"sku":"ast1789762503289","price":9.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":57448102199462,"sku":"uvx1789762503290","price":9.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Anthracite","offer_id":57448102232230,"sku":"fbt1789762503291","price":11.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/7649\/4758\/files\/dowsil-796-pvcu-aluminium-and-wood-silicone-sealant---310ml-cartridge_1.jpg?v=1789762507","url":"https:\/\/printmotifwear.shop\/products\/dowsil-796-pvcu-aluminium-and-wood-silicone-sealant-310ml-cartridge","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
