Tower All Purpose Silicone

Description

TOWER SILICONE All Purpose 100% Silicone Rubber Sealant is a one-component, acid-curing, silicone sealant for general purpose sealing in do-it-yourself applications. TOWER SILICONE cures at room temperature under the action of atmospheric moisture to give a permanently flexible silicone rubber. TOWER SILICONE exhibits excellent primerless adhesion to most materials and can be used for sanitary application. Commonly used on glass, tiles, ceramics, enamel, glazed tiles, varnished or painted wood; and some plastics.

It forms a flexible, durable airtight, water-resistant seal offering exceptional protection. Once cured the bead is mildew resistant. TOWER SILICONE is safe for UV exposure and will not discolor.

Surface 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. Remove residual solvent before it evaporates with a dry
cloth. Protect areas not to be sealed or when using sealant to form weather-stripping by placing wax
paper over sealant to prevent sticking until it has cured. When cured and washed, the product meets
the requirements of FDA Regulation No. 21 CFR 177.2600.2

Installation:

1. Cut nozzle at 45° angle. Cured bead should be between 1/8” and 1/12” wide. 2. Puncture inner foil
seal. 3. Smooth bead with finishing tool if necessary. 4. Clean up excess uncured sealant from surface
and tools with mineral spirits. 5. Allow 24 hours for sealant to cure. Sealant will not cure in totally
confined spaces. 6. Reseal for reuse. 7. Excess cured sealant must be cut or scraped away. Wash
hands with soap and water.
