GE UltraGlaze* SSG4000
GE UltraGlaze* SSG4000 structural glazing adhesive is a one-component, high strength neutral cure silicone elastomeric adhesive designed and tested for structurally glazed curtain wall applications.
The material is supplied as a paste, which cures into a durable flexible silicone rubber upon exposure to atmospheric moisture
Detail
- Silicone durability – Exhibits excellent long term resistance
- Stable consistency (uncured state) – Supplied as a light-weight paste the consistency of which remains relatively unchanged over a wide temperature range
- Thermal stability (cured state) – Once cured, the material remains flexible over a temperature range of -48°C to 121°C
- Primerless adhesion – bonds to most conventional substrates and finishes
- Low sag or slump – which may be used for application to horizontal, vertical, or overhead surfaces
- High tensile strength – increase safety factors in SSG designs
- High tear strength – useful in Protective Glazing applications
- Extended work life – to allow the user sufficient time for tooling and placement
- Packaging – 600 ml sausage
Basic Uses
- Ultraglaze SSG4000 is an excellent material of choice for factory glazing of unitized curtainwall systems or in field constructed stick curtainwall systems
- Ultraglaze SSG4000 can also be used as a weatherseal product, when movement expected in the joint does not exceed its movement capability (±25%)
- Ultraglaze SSG4000 has been validated in designs as an appropriate candidate for use in protective glazing applications.
- Ultraglaze SSG4000 is useful in panel stiffener applications.
