TREMCO SPECTREM 2 SILICONE SEALANT 20OZ

Tremco Spectrem 2 is a high-performance, single-component, neutral-cure, medium-modulus silicone sealant for 2-sided structural glazing.

Do not apply to damp or contaminated surfaces. Use with adequate ventilation. Not intended for continuous water immersion. Only black silicones are recommended for structural glazing applications. Substrate Preparation Surfaces must be sound, clean, and dry. Contact surfaces should be free of loose dirt, dust, oils, and any other contaminants. Tremco recommends that air temperatures be 40 & F (5 & C) or above before applying any sealant. If colder weather is imminent, please refer to the Tremco Guide for Cold weather applications.

Spectrem 2 is ideal for a variety of perimeter caulking and glazing applications, including 2-sided structural glazing. Spectrem 2 may be used on substrates such as aluminium, glass, steel, painted metal, plastic, stone, concrete and brick. Spectrem 2 meets or exceeds the requirements of the following specifications: ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 50, Use NT, M, G, A and O ASTM C1248 Standard Test Method for Staining of Porous Substrate by Joint Sealants ASTM C1184 Standard Specifications for Structural Silicone Sealants U.S. Federal Specification TT-S-001543A (COM-NBS) Class A CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87 U.S. Federal Specification TT-S-00230C (COM-NBS) Class A, Type II Black meets all of AAMA 802.3-92 (Type I and II), 805.2-94 (Group C), and 808.3-92 Conforms to ASTM C1184 Use G and O (Aluminium) Spectrem 2 is easy to apply with conventional caulking equipment. Fill joint completely and tool. At 75 �_F (23.9 �_C), 50% RH, a durable skin will form typically within fewer than 10 minutes. Joint Design May be used in any joint designed in accordance with accepted architectural/engineering practices. Joint width should be 4 times anticipated movement, but not less than 1/4” (6 mm) wide. Joint Backing Approved structural glazing tapes, such as SGT 900 Series Tape, compatible silicone, or SCR spacer gaskets are approved to promote properly dimensioned tensile beads when used in 2-sided structural glazing applications. When Spectrem 2 sealant is used in non-structural glazing applications, closed-cell polyethylene backer rod is preferred as joint backing to control depth of sealant bead. Where depth of joint will prevent use of joint backing, an adhesive-backed polyethylene tape should be installed to prevent three-sided adhesion. Joint backing must be dry at time of sealant application. W = Sealant width, D = Sealant depth, C = Contact area. Expansion joints: The minimum joint width (W) and sealant contact depth (C) of any silicone sealant application is 1/4” by 1/4” (6.35 mm by 6.35 mm). It is recommended that the sealant joint depth (D), when measured from the face of the sealant bead to the crown of the backer rod, be equal to one-half the sealant joint width (W), known as 2:1 width-to-depth joint ratio. For silicone sealants, the minimum sealant joint depth (D) at crown of backer rod is 1/8” (3 mm) and the maximum sealant joint depth at crown of backer rod is frac12 (13mm). For joints that are wider than 1" (25 mm), contact one of our technical services representatives. Window perimeter joints: For fillet beads, or angle beads around windows and doors, the sealant should exhibit a minimum sealant contact depth [C] of 1/4" (6.34 mm) onto each substrate. Proper joint backing or bond breaking must be implemented to allow the sealant to perform when exposed to joint movement. STRUCTURAL GLAZING: Special consideration must be taken when using Spectrem 2 in structural glazing applications; therefore, the above sealant dimension guidelines do not apply in these applications.
