Silglaze N10 is a one component silicone sealant which cures to a high modulus silicone rubber on exposure to atmospheric moisture at room temperature. This product is a neutral cure sealant. In addition to the unique features of silicone rubber such as superior high and low temperatures resistance, water resistance, and outstanding weatherability, Silglaze N10 also provides excellent adhesion to glass, metal and numerous construction materials.
APPLICATIONS
♦ Sealing for glass-to-glass and glass-to-metal sash
♦ Sealant for housing windows, freight container, metal cladding, ducting and interior sealing in building and housing
♦ Sealing for general glazing and showroom glazing and general weatherproofing applications
Note; Silglaze N10 is not suitable for Structural Glazing use

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
♦ SURFACE PREPARATION Substrate surface should be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable solvent such as alcohol, xylene, or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Do not use soap, detergent or water. Wipe the surface dry. Sealant will not properly adhere to a wet substrate. For polycarbonate and acrylic resin, n-hexane should be used in order to prevent solvent-cracking.
♦ MASKING To obtain a neat sealant line, use masking tape to cover areas adjacent to any joints before priming.
♦ PRIMER A preliminary adhesion test of sealant on the substrate is recommended to ascertain proper adhesion. For difficult-to-bond substrates, use of a primer is suggested. Allow primer to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
♦ BACK-UP MATERIAL Do not apply sealant in direct contact with organic rubber such as chloroprene, EPT, etc. These rubbers may stain the silicone sealant.
♦ APPLYING AND TOOLING SEALANT Cut nozzle to desired bead size, break the membrane film completely and extrude sealant in the joint. Tool immediately, within 5 minutes, with a spatula to spread the sealant against the back-up material and joint surface. Remove masking tape immediately after tooling. Sealant will begin to skin on the exposed surface in about 15 minutes and cure will progress inward.
HANDLING AND SAFETY
♦ Wear eye protection when handling uncured sealant as it can irritate eyes. In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes well with water and contact a physician.
♦ Adequate ventilation must be maintained in the work place at all times.
♦ Extended contact with the skin may cause irritation and should be avoided.
♦ Not for food contact use.
PRIMER It is recommended that preliminary adhesion test be carried out on the substrate to ascertain the adhesion of Silglaze N10. If necessary, primer may be used to improve the bonding
performance. Primer can be selected in the selection guide as below. Coated primer should be dried thoroughly before sealant application.
