Name: HA6 RTV Marine Silicone Sealant

A non-shrinking, marine quality, silicone sealant. It is unaffected by UV, ozone, salt water immersion and extremes of temperature and is non-slumping in paste form.

Features: Marine grade. – Suitable for aquarium installations. – High movement accommodation. – Non-shrinking and non-slumping. – UV resistant. – For interior and exterior use. – Temperature stability -60oC to +180oC – UKCA Approved. – Conforms to EN15651-1,2; F EXT-INT; G 25LM.

Application: For bonding, bedding and sealing glass in aquarium and vivarium construction. Suitable for the manufacture of in-situ gaskets and seals for pumps and pipework to prevent water ingression and as a dust and weatherproofing seal for cabinets in dirty environments or external applications. Ideal for use on glass, ceramics, anodised aluminium, primed metals and timber and many plastics.

Instructions: Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, oil or any other contaminants that may hinder adhesion. Prime porous surfaces and metals other than anodised aluminium or stainless steel for optimum adhesion.
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. For sealing and bedding apply in the normal fashion and tool to a smooth finish one or two minutes after gunning. As an adhesive bring the two surfaces together before skinning commences and do not stress the joint before the silicone has developed strength. As a gasket apply to one surface and if the joint is to be broken allow a strong skin to develop before compressing for permanent gaskets the joint can be sealed immediately. Cleaning: Clean away any excess with Bond It White Spirit or Muti-Wipes.
When using in aquarium assembly please refer to separate sheet for instructions which can be downloaded from our website.

Limitations: For concrete and cement surfaces Bond It LN7 neutral cure silicone is recommended. 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 bitumen, asphalt, natural stone or unprimed metals. Do not use as a mirror adhesive, use Bond It Mirror Pro or Glass-Mate and do not apply at temperatures below +5oC or above +30oC.
