SilPruf* SCS2000 silcone sealant & adhesive
Sealant Application - STRUCTURAL GLAZING
• Apply the sealant by pushing the bead ahead of the nozzle
and making sure that the entire cavity is filled. Tooling
should be done neatly, forcing the sealant into contact
with the sides of the joint, thus helping to eliminate any
internal voids and assuring good substrate contact. AIR
POCKETS OR VOIDS WITHIN THE STRUCTURAL CAVITY ARE
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
• Due to the smooth consistency of SilPruf SCS2000 sealant
& adhesive, tooling agents such as water, soap or deter-
gent solutions are not necessary or recommended. Dry
tooling is recommended.
• Sealant application is not recommended when the
temperature is below 40°F (4°C) or if frost or moisture is
present on the surfaces to be sealed.
• SilPruf SCS2000 sealant & adhesive works best when
applied to surfaces below 122°F (50°C).
• SilPruf SCS2000 sealant & adhesive should not be applied
in totally confined spaces since the sealant requires expo-
sure to air a to cure properly and develop typical proper-
ties. In a typical SSG cavity, cure depths up to
3
/4” from an
air interface will generally cure satisfactorily and reach
maximum properties within several days. Cure depths >
3
/4” may take significantly longer time to cure and when
applied in a single application may not cure satisfactorily.
Consult GE - Silicones technical services for additional
information on depth of cure for this product.

ing guns or from 2 gallons pails using standard bulk caulking
