Momentive™ SCS1000 Contractors

SCS1000 Contractors silicone sealant Product Description Typical Performance Properties SCS1000 Contractors silicone sealant is a one-component acetoxy silicone material that provides excellent weatherability and elasticity for general purpose sealing and bonding. SCS1000 silicone sealant is a paste material which cures into a flexible rubber when exposed to atmospheric moisture. Performance Silicone Durability - Cured silicone provides excellent longterm resistance to natural weathering humidity and high low temperatures with negligible change in elasticity. 25 Movement Capacity - Can accommodate 25 movement in both extension and compression and has excellent recovery after cycling. Thermal Stability - Once properly cured the material remains fully elastic over a range of -45F -48C to 350F 204C. Low VOC - significantly lower than the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design L.E.E.D. programs requirements. Application Fast Cure Time - Tack free in 30 minutes and full cure of many common bead sizes in 24-48 hours. Durable Adhesion - Able to bond to many common substrates and finishes including glass ceramic tiles porcelain painted surfaces some plastics cultured marble polished granites and marbles and many composite materials including fiberglass. Gunnability - The uncured silicone can be easily gunned and tooled under hot or cold conditions. Workability - Non-sag paste makes application possible on horizontal vertical or overhead surfaces.

Any technical advice furnished by MPM or any representative of MPM concerning any use or application of any MPM product is believed to be reliable but MPM makes no warranty expressed or implied of suitability for use in any application for which such advice is furnished. Applicable Standards SCS1000 sealant meets the requirements of the following specifications ASTM C920 U.S. Federal TT-S-001543A TT-S-00230C. USDA MPM has on file documentation from USDA which states that SCS1001 SCS1002 SCS1003 and SCS1009 sealants are chemically acceptable for use on surfaces in official establishments operating under the Federal Meat and Poultry Inspection Program. SCS1097 Bronze doesnot meet USDA acceptance criteria. For further information contact MPM Product Regulatory Compliance. The final granting of authorization for the proposed use of such compounds is the responsibility of the inspector in chargeof the official plant. Technical assistance will be provided by the Product Safety Branch of USDA upon request. FDA The following SCS1000 sealantscolors are compositionally in compliance with 21 CFR 177.2600 Rubber articles intended for repeated use 21 CFR 175.105 Adhesives and 21 CFR 175.300 Resinous and Polymeric Coatings SCS1001 SCS1002 SCS1003 SCS1009 and SCS1097. The use of these adhesive sealants is subject to the following conditions The adhesive sealant is applied in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice at a thickness not to exceed 6mm 14 inch from an exposed edge. As a continuous film between joints acting as a functional barrier between the food and the substrate area underneath the joint. The adhesive sealant must be cured for a minimum of 14 days at or above 23C 73F and 50 Relative Humidity. The operating temperature of the adhesive sealant after cure must not exceed 177C 350F. The above sealants mentioned should be evaluated to determine bond strength for each specific substrate and application. If enhanced adhesion i

s desired the evaluation of a primer is recommended. Only SS4179 primer may be used in repeated contact with food under 21 CFR 175.300. Resinous and Polymeric Coatings may be used. NSF SCS1001 SCS1002 SCS1003 and SCS1009 sealants are listed under NSFANSI STANDARD 51 Food Equipment Materials.

Actual value may vary. P. 04 SCS1000 Contractors silicone sealant Installation In all cases it is important to confirm the acceptability of each sealant-substrate combination with an adhesion test prior to proceeding with use. Some materials with variable surface characteristics may require the use of a primer to help obtain durable long-term adhesion. See Construction Primers datasheet. Surface Preparation Surfaces must be clean dry and sound prior to application of the sealant. All contaminants impurities or other adhesion inhibitors such as moisturefrost oils old sealants soaps and other surface treatments etc. must be removed from the surfaces to which the sealant is intended to adhere. For cleaning a solvent-dampened clean rag usually produces the desired result. Isopropyl Alcohol IPA is a commonly-used solvent and has proven useful for most substr

ates. When handling solvents refer to manufacturers MSDS for information on handling safety and personal protective equipment. Masking The use of masking tape is recommended where appropriate to ensure a neat job and to protect adjoining surfaces from over-application of sealant. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling the sealant and before the sealant begins to skin over tooling time. P. 05 Sealant Application Apply sealant in a continuous operation applying a positive pressure adequate to properly fill and seal the seam cavity or joint. Tool or strike the sealant with an appropriate tool applying light pressure to spread the material against the joint surfaces for a neat application. Sealant application is not recommended when the temperature is below 40F 4C or if frost or moisture is present on the surfaces to be sealed. Application of SCS1000 sealant is not recommended to surfaces above 120F 49C. Method of Application SCS1000 sealant is easily dispensed directly from cartridges using standard caulking guns or air operated guns. Maximum recommended pressure for air operated guns is 45 psi 0.02 bar. Mixing heating and refrigeration are not required. SCS1000 Contractors silicone sealant Sealant Application Patent Status Begin by installing backup material for joint or joint filler setting blocks spacer shims and tapes as needed. In a continuous operation apply the sealant horizontally in one direction and vertically from the bottom to the top of the joint opening. Apply the sealant with a positive pressure by pushing the bead ahead of the nozzle and making sure that the entire cavity is filled sans air pockets or voids. Tooling should be done neatly forcing the sealant into contact with the sides of the joint or cavity thus helping to eliminate any internal voids and assuring good substrate contact. Sealant should only be applied to surfaces that are clean dry and free of dust. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to imply the non

existence of any relevant patents or to constitute the permission inducement or recommendation to practice any invention covered by any patent without authority from the owner of the patent. Tooling Tool or strike the sealant with a concave tool applying light pressure to spread the material against the back-up material and the joint surfaces to ensure a void-free application. On sill applications tool the sealant to shed water and to eliminate ponding. Tooling agents such as water soap or detergent solutions are not recommended. Cleaning of Excess Sealant For glass metal and plastic surfaces uncured excess material can be removed using a solvent. Use care when using solvents on plastic materials as some solvents can soften some plastics. For glass metal and plastic surfaces cured excess material can be removed using a blade by scraping or cutting. If excess material unintentionally contacts the surfaces of porous materials the sealant is best allowed to progress through the initial cure or set-up and then mechanically removed by abrasion or other suitable means.
