Fortafix High Temperature RTV Silicone - HT FLEXSEAL 300

A cartridge applied Silicone based Sealant designed for use where a flexible bond is required together with high temperature resistance. This adhesive gives excellent adhesion between most substrates and, because of its high elasticity, is particularly suited for gap-filling applications and jointing materials of different thermal expansion characteristics & where vibration is a problem. Wide operating temperature range up to 300°C

Additional Information

·  Excellent adhesion to metals, glass, ceramics, polymers etc
·  Gap filling & resistant to many solvents
·  Provides a high temperature flexible joint for flues, ducting etc
·  Resistant to weathering and ageing - can be used externally
·  Wide operating temperature range up to 300°C

Application

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL SURFACES TO BE BONDED ARE FREE FROM OIL, DUST OR ANY FORM OF SURFACE COATING OR CONTAMINATION.
·  Ensure that all surfaces to be bonded, sealed or insulated are degreased, clean and free from contamination.
·  A light surface abrasion of the material to be bonded will increase the amount of surface available for adhesion and will give improved mechanical key.
·  Apply the adhesive to all surfaces to be bonded
·  Join and apply moderate pressure to ensure even anchorage and solid contact of the surfaces to be bonded, so that all surfaces are fully wetted.
·  Secure the components and allow the adhesive to set and harden.

Curing

Product requires humidity and temperature for cure.
