SCS2000 SilPruf silicone sealant adhesive Product Description GE SCS2000 is a one-component high-strength neutral cure silicone sealant adhesive for use in structural glazing and on a wide variety of materials in new or remedial weatherproofing applications. SCS2000 is supplied as a paste and upon cure produces a durable formed-in-place silicone rubber joint sealant. Typical Performance Properties Performance Silicone Durability - cured silicone rubber exhibits excellent long term resistance to natural weathering including extreme temperatures ultraviolet radiation rain and snow with negligible change in elasticity. Strength Properties - SilPrufs combination of high tensile strength high tear strength and the capacity to absorb high deformations elongation make this product an outstanding candidate for protective glazing designs and seismic applications Low VOC - significantly lower than the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design L.E.E.D. programs requirements. Neutral cure byproduct with low odor. 50 Movement Capacity - can accommodate 50 movement in both extension and compression and has excellent recovery after cycling. Application Adhesion - primerless adhesion to many substrates and finishes. May be considered a candidate for use with numerous construction-related materials including glass polycarbonate vinyl numerous plastics treated and untreated wood fluoropolymer and powder coated paints conversion-coated and anodized aluminum EIFS brick terra-cotta ceramic and porcelain materials concrete and natural stones. Some finishes or substrates may require a primer. Thermal Stability cured state - once cured the material remains elastic over a range of -55F -48C to 300F 149C and up to 400F 204C under intermittent short-term exposure. Stable Consistency uncured state - supplied as a lightweight paste the consistency of which remains relatively unchanged over a wide temperature range. The paste is able to be easily gunned
and tooled under hot and cold conditions. Extended Work Life - designed to allow the user sufficient time for placement and tooling. Low Sag or Slump - useful for application to horizontal vertical or overhead surfaces.

Champagne SCS2100.0148 ................ Sandy Beige Limitations SCS2000 is not recommended For use underwater or in other 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. For structural adhesion on bare metals or surfaces subject to corrosion i.e. mill aluminum bare steel etc.. When using colors other than black for structural glazing applications contact Momentive Technical Services prior to use. P. 02 SCS2000 should not be applied or used In structural glazing applications unless Momentive Performance Materials MPM has reviewed shop drawings for applicability and has performed adhesion and compatibility tests on project substrates spacer materials and all accompanying acces
sories. Review and testing is done on a project-by-project basis. No blanket approval is given by MPM for structural glazing applications. Structural glazing industry guidelines ASTM C1401 suggest that drawings and details are to be reviewed by all parties involved in the manufacture of an SSG system and for each building project. Under exceedingly hot or cold conditions see Sealant Application section for additional information. On wet damp frozen or contaminated surfaces. On excessively basic or acidic substrates. In exceedingly large structural cavities see Sealant Application section for additional information. Precautions This material requires atmospheric moisture to cure from paste to rubber and may not attain its listed final cured rubber properties when used in designs or applications where the silicone is encapsulated and lacks access to atmospheric moisture. When sealing against natural stones MPM recommends that stain testing be performed prior to use to ascertain the visual acceptability of the sealant-stone combination. MPM recommends evaluation of SCS9000 when sealing to natural stones. Some materials that bleed plasticizers or oils can cause a discoloration on the surface of sealants. When sealing to or over items such as rubberized gaskets bituminous-based materials butyl or oil-based products oily woods tapes etc. MPM recommends that compatibility testing be performed prior to use to confirm the suitability of the use of these materials when in contact with each other. Silicone materials are hydrophobic in nature and if inadvertently over-applied onto adjacent joint surfaces even if removed immediately can create a waterproofing effect on some substrate types when the substrate is wet. See section on Masking. Technical Services Additional technical information and literature is available from MPM Laboratory facilities and application engineering are available upon request from MPM. Any technical advice furnished by MPM or any representative
of MPM concerning any use or application of any sealant 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.
