Flash-Mate Lead Silicone Sealant

Description

Name: Flash-Mate Lead Silicone Sealant

A fast skinning LMN roofing sealant that reduces weather ingression, tile lift and noise. Tough, resilient and compatible with lead.

Features: Stops weather ingression, tile lift and noise. – Fast skinning. – Weatherproof. – Sets to a tough resilient rubber. – Excellent UV, heat and ozone resistance. – Permanently flexible. – For interior and exterior use. – UKCA Approved.

Application: Can be used to bond glass and glazing plastics as well as small sections of roofing materials under repair. Ideally suited for sealing rooflights, conservatories, soffits, glass houses, industrial roofing systems, lead flashing, guttering, cladding, solar energy systems and mechanical fasteners. FLASH-MATE is compatible with lead, galvanised steel and all metals. It is ideal for use on: glass; slate; all metals including lead and galvanised steel; concrete and brick; GRP; sealed timber; plastics (including polycarbonate); acrylics; PVCu and all painted surfaces.

Instructions: Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease or any contaminants that may hinder adhesion. Priming may be necessary on porous surfaces.
Application: Apply using a standard sealant gun with the nozzle cut at an angle of 45°, and to an opening slightly larger than the joint to be sealed. Best tooling is achieved if you leave for 5-10 minutes after application before smoothing. Polyethylene foam backing rod pushed into construction joints before sealing gives a technically superior joint and minimises sealant consumption. For bonding press the two surfaces together before skinning commences. On very hot roofs skinning time will be much shorter. Once the silicone has been applied and tooled rain will not have any adverse effects on the sealant.
Cleaning: Tools can be cleaned in Bond It White Spirit or Multi-Wipes prior to curing taking place.

Limitations: Porous surfaces, including bitumen and asphalt, should be primed first. Do not use on surfaces where water can penetrate through porous materials to the bond interface without first carrying out remedial work. Not suitable for use on natural stone, without priming or for use on aquaria.
