APPLICATIONS

JOINLEADER 688 Aquarium Silicone Sealant is a high-performance sealant designed for the construction of aquariums and high-quality glass structures (Total Vision Glazing, TVG).

JOINLEADER 688 Aquarium Silicone Sealant is also suitable for use in glazing and industrial applications and for the construction of silos and containers.

It may be applied by hand or machine to seal a variety of substrates such as glass, coated glass, ceramic tiles, enamel, painted surfaces (wood and other), aluminum, steel and many plastics. In some cases, metal and plastic substrates require priming before JOINLEADER 688 Aquarium Silicone Sealant is applied.

APPLICATION LIMITS

JOINLEADER 660 Large Plate Glass Structural Silicone Sealant is not adapted to structural fitting and following situations:

1. To all surfaces that bleed oil, plasticizers or solvents such as wood immersed in oil, oil crack filler, and some uncured or sulfur zed fat and to surface where is wet;

2. To the substrate that the surface temperature exceeds +50°C or apply at temperatures below 5°C;

3. Use in the manufacturer of IG units;

4. To closed or confined areas where sealant cure may be inhabited by lack of air (silicone sealant need the water in the air to cure);

5. To use in construction or sealing of aquariums;

6. To the circumstances as immersed in water for a long time;

7. Shall not be applied on lead, zinc and galvanized steel plate.

8. To the painted surfaces, may cause seal failure as the paint cracking or stripping;

9. To the places that easily suffer mechanical clash;

10. Use in the IG curtain wall sealing.

11. Contact with Neutral silicon sealant.

HOW TO USE

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:   +5°C to +40°C

Cleanse with a cleaning agent, to keep the substrate surfaces completely clean(JOIN LEADER also provide the cleaning agent for your convenience).

Use the sealant after cleaning agent dries, around 1~2mins later. You can use two different cloth, one for cleaning agent, and the other for sealant. (Notice that the two can’t be mixed use together, and the second cloth will be better purified cotton and no picking.)

For better appearance, cover outside of joint areas with masking taps before application.

Cut nozzle to desired size and extrude sealant to joint areas.

Tool immediately after sealant application, make it smooth and remove masking tape before sealant skins.

JOINT SIZE

Minimum Width: 5mm

Maximum Width: 30mm

Minimum Depth: 5mm

Maximum Depth:12mm

Recommendation: 2 * depth = width

REQUIRED TESTING IN THE APPLICATION

It is the responsibility of the end user to thoroughly test any proposed use of the sealant and independently conclude satisfactory performance in the application.

SHELF LIFE

12 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +5°C and 27°C.

COLOR

Transparent, black, white and silvery gray.

Also we can produce the sealant with special color upon customers' requirement.
