Rapidstick All-In-One Silicone Sealant ChemTools 8-RS60GY-300

DESCRIPTION:

Rapidstick™ RS-60 All-In-One Silicone Sealant is a durable, non-tacky, highly adhesive waterproof sealant with permanent elasticity, specially formulated for expansion joints – particularly those exposed to the outside elements. It has low shrinkage and is resistant to UV damage, fading, abrasion, and cracking, and is suitable for use in harsh environments or under extreme temperature conditions.
RS-60 can be applied to un-primed or painted surfaces without a reduction in performance, adhering incredibly well to most commercial paints, coatings, and glazes for a lifetime, with no replacement bond. Its no-slump single-component neutral cure formula slowly absorbs atmospheric moisture to form a permanent elastomeric seal. Once thoroughly cured, RS-60 is unbeatably tough, and will not degrade or lose flexibility with time.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

• Low odor
• Resistant to UV weathering
• Single component, no mix formulation
• Excellent anti-fungal properties
• Resistant to mold and mildew
• Excellent for both indoor and outdoor applications
• Non-corrosive
• Non-primed adhesion to most surfaces
• Maximum flexibility
• Anti-sagging formula
• Will not crack, fade, peel, or abrade
• Low shrinkage after cure

COMPATIBLE SURFACES:

• Most plastics
• Timber and wood
• Concrete and bricks
• Mirrors, glass, and laminates
• Drywall and plaster
• Granite and marble
• All metal types, incl. ferrous, non-ferrous, soft, and coated
• Ceramics, porcelain, and stone

COMMON APPLICATIONS:

• Weatherproofing joints around windows and doors
• Mounting panels, skirting boards, thresholds, mirrors and insulation materials
• Bonding glass in synthetic and aluminum profiles
• Sealing/bonding coated metal, porcelain, polyester, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and finished wood

APPLICATIONS:

Surfaces must be clean and free from loose material, standing water, or contaminants that otherwise may impair the bond*. Non-porous surfaces such as aluminum should be cleaned/degreased before application. It may be necessary to prime some porous surfaces depending on the cohesiveness and porosity of the substrate.
For applications such as construction joints where some movement will be exhibited, the minimum joint dimensions should be 6mm x 6mm with the maximum dimensions being 20mm (W) x 12mm (D). Where deeper joints are found, depth can be reduced using a suitable backer rod.
For areas of perimeter pointing where a fillet is to be applied, the minimum measurement across must be 10mm with a minimum depth of 6mm. 

Sealing: Apply firmly into the joint using an application gun, ensuring a good solid fill is achieved. 

Bonding: Apply in vertical lines approximately 30cm apart. Support for 24 hours until full cure occurs.
