NATURE OF PROJECT
For this project insulated glazing for structural glazing was applied. Dowsil 3362 is a two part silicone sealant for use as secondary sealant in
insulated glass units. This product has outstanding adhesion to a wide range of substrates including coated and reflective glasses, aluminum and steel spacers, and a variety of plastics. Dowsil 3362 offers a low water absorption, non-corrosive cure and fast curing time and excellent temperature stability: -50 °C to 150 °C. Other benefits include Very high modulus which limits the stress on the primary sealant and makes it particularly suited for gas-filled insulated glazing units. Outstanding resistance to ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Stable viscosity for A and B components, no heating required.
