Spectrem 2 is a high-performance silicone sealant for SG projects. The silicone can withstand high loads and weathering, while ensuring an insulated and weather-proof building.
General properties
- Excellent adhesion to most construction materials.
- No need for priming.
- Dries quickly.
- Expected lifetime: over 30 years.
- Excellent resistance to UV radiation, moisture, large temperature fluctuations, wind loads, acid rain, and other weather effects.
- Wide service temperature range: -54 °C to +177 °C.
- Meets the requirements of the following standards:
– ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 25;
– TT-S-001543A (COM-NBS) Class A;
– TT-S-00230C (COM-NBS) Class A;
– CAN/CGSB-19.13-M87.
Intended for:
Spectrem 2 is intended for use in 2- and 4-sided structural glazing systems for fixing/bonding glass elements to structures, as well as sealing joints between elements.
In SG projects, Spectrem is not recommended for use:
- in contact with untreated metal surfaces;
- in low-humidity environments – significantly slows down the curing process.
