SilPruf* SCS2000 silcone sealant & adhesive
Joint Designs and Dimensions -
STRUCTURAL GLAZING (continued)
GE - Silicones will provide the following, after reviewing the
materials above:
• Determination as to whether the submitted joint dimensions
meet the minimum design criteria necessary for the use of
SilPruf SCS2000 sealant & adhesive.
• Short-term adhesion data using (typically) the ASTM C794
and/or ASTM C1135 test method. Other test methods may be
employed.
• Short-term compatibility test results on gaskets, spacers
and setting blocks and other accessories per ASTM C1087
or GE - Silicones test method for compatibility.
• Information regarding suggested primers, when required.

GE - Silicones will not:
• Design sealant joints.
• Provide comments on the structural integrity of overall framing
system(s).
• Provide long-term performance data.
The design professional has final responsibility for the determina-
tion of structural sealant joint dimensions based on project
conditions, design wind load(s), glass or panel sizes, anticipated
thermal, seismic or other movement of the system.
The ASTM C1401 Standard Guide for Structural Sealant Glazing
provides a thorough overview of design topics and information for
use in SSG systems.
