Momentive™ SCS1700 Sanitary

SCS1700 Sanitary silicone sealant Product Description Typical Performance Properties SCS1700 silicone sealant is a one-component acetoxy cure silicone containing a fungicide that is supplied as a paste and upon cure produces a durable formed-in-place silicone rubber seal that is mildew and mold resistant. SCS1700 is an excellent candidate to consider the prevention of mildew formation around fixtures in areas such as locker rooms swimming pool facilities and lavatories. Performance Silicone Durability - Cured silicone provides excellent long-term resistance to natural weathering humidity and high low temperatures with negligible change in elasticity. Mildew Resistant - Contains a fungicide that enables the sealant to resist both mold and mildew even when exposed to prolonged hot and humid environments. 25 Movement Capacity - Can accommodate 25 movement in both extension and compression and has excellent recovery after cycling. Application Fast Cure Time - Tack free in 30 minutes and full cure of many common bead sizes in 24-48 hrs. Adhesion - Primerless adhesion to many substrates and finishes including glass ceramic porcelain tiles stainless steel numerous plastics glazed surfaces imitation marble aluminum and many composite materials. Some finishes or substrates may require a primer. Good Workability - Temperature stable paste which is easily gunned and tooled under hot and cold conditions. Thermal Stability - Once cured the material properties remain fully elastic over a range of -55F -48C to 400F 204C. Low Sag or Slump - Useful for application to horizontal vertical or overhead surfaces.

applications where the product will be in continuous contact with water. For use in food contact applications. When painting of the cured sealant is desired unless appropriate specialized paint products are used such as GE SEC2400 SilShield. For use on aquariums as leaching of the fungicide can occur. For use on surfaces with special coatings such as mirrors without testing and approval of the manufacturer of the article. SCS1700 should not be applied or used Under exceedingly hot or cold conditions see Sealant Typical Properties table. On wet damp frozen or contaminated surfaces.

In all cases the applicator must confirm the acceptability of each sealant-substrate combination with a site adhesion test prior to proceeding with project installation. A GE sealant primer may be selected to enhance sealant bonding on some difficult to adhere to substrates. MPM can provide information and suggestions to user upon request. 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. Storage Conditions SCS1700 should be stored in the original unopened container at 80F 27C or lower. Surface Preparation Patent Status Glass Metals Paints Smooth Surfaces etc. Smooth surfaces can be wiped clean using a rag dampened with a cleaning solvent Isopropyl Alcohol is typically useful. Proceed by cleaning the surfaces using a rag wetted with solvent and immediately use a second clean rag to wipe the wet solvent from the surface before it evaporates. Repeat this procedure as necessary until no contaminants are visible on the second cleaning rag. Rough surfaces such as concrete brick and masony can be cleaned by wire brush mechanical abrading grinding or a combination of these methods to provide a stable clean surface for sealant application. Secondly follow this with an air blow or brush soft-bri

stled to remove dust. All surfaces that are to receive sealant must be clean dry and free of contaminants such as moisturefrost oils concrete form release agents old sealants asphalt and other surface treatments etc. to allow for optimal adhesion.
