Dow Corning® 757
Weatherproofing Sealant
Der weltweite Trend zur Energieeinsparung und die moderne Architektur schrauben die Anforderungen an
Dauerhaftigkeit und Wärmedämmung von Isolierglas-Einheiten nach oben. Dadurch steigt auch die Nachfrage an
gasgefüllten Isoliergläsern und Warm-Edge-Technologien mit Silikon als Sekundär-Dichtstoff.
Während eines der Hauptmerkmale von Dichtstoffen auf organischer Basis in ihrer geringen Gasdurchlässigkeit besteht
(was eine größere Fertigungstoleranz erlaubt), haben diese Dichtstoffe eine geringere Haftbeständigkeit am Glas. Dies
schränkt ihre Verwendungsmöglichkeit dort ein, wo eine höhere Haftbeständigkeit erforderlich ist, beispielsweise für
Isolierglasanwendungen mit UV-Einwirkung auf der freien Glaskante und /oder mit sehr hohen Anforderungen an die
Wetterbeständigkeit. Silikondichtstoffe hingegen zeigen hervorragende Eigenschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Haftfähigkeit und
ihrer UV-Beständigkeit. Dies macht sie zum Material der Wahl für Architektur- und Projektverglasungen sowie für hoch
beanspruchte Dachverglasungen. Angesichts von weltweit mehr als 20 Jahren erfolgreicher Verwendung von
Silikondichtstoffen sind die hervorragenden Eigenschaften und die hohe Nutzungsdauer von dual versiegelten mit Silikon
abgedichteten Isoliergläsern eindeutig nachgewiesen.
Bei neuen Isolierglas -Systemen hat sich gezeigt, dass argongefüllte und mit Silikon abgedichtete Isoliergläser, die unter
Verwendung von Dow Corning 3362 hergestellt wurden, so produziert werden können, dass sie die Forderungen von EN
1279-3 (und /oder DIN 1286-2) zuverlässig erfüllen. In den letzten fünf Jahren sind mehr als 20 gasgefüllte und
silikonabgedichtete Isolierglas-Systeme unter Verwendung von Dow Corning-Dichtstoffen erfolgreich am Markt
eingeführt worden.
Folglich können nun dual versiegelte mit Silikon abgedichtete Isoliergläser hergestellt werden, die nicht nur eine
hervorragende Beständigkeit und Nutzungsdauer aufweisen, sondern auch die strengen Forderungen der Branchennormen
hinsichtlich der Gasdichtigkeit zuverlässig einhalten.
Bedingt durch die dem Silikon eigene Gaspermeabilität sind besondere Konstruktions- und Fertigungsmaßnahmen
erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass das Isolierglas-System als Ganzes gasdicht ist. Diese Überlegungen fallen primär in
die Verantwortung und den Aufgabenbereich der Isolierglas -Hersteller.
1. Einige der Konstruktionsmaßnahmen betreffen eine Verkleinerung der für den Gasverlust verfügbaren Fläche oder eine
Verlängerung der betreffenden Wegstrecke. Andere derartige Maßnahmen sehen gebogene Abstandshalterecken, einen
integrierten Gasfüllvorgang, halbautomatische Anlagen zur PIB-Applikation und (erwärmte) Inline-Pressen zur PrimärAbdichtung mit PIB vor. Es konnte auch gezeigt werden, dass Randverbundsysteme für Isoliergläser, die wie der TPSAbstandshalter oder schaumbasierte Abstandshalter in der Lage sind, Bewegungen innerhalb des Abstandshalters
aufzunehmen, die Belastung auf die Primär-Abdichtung zu verringern und so die Gasverlustrate unter beschleunigten
Versuchsbedingungen wie auch unter tatsächlichen Nutzungs-Bedingungen zu verringern. Auch Systeme wie
beispielsweise Abstandshalter aus Edelstahl, die die durch Temperaturschwankungen bedingte Bewegung minimieren
können, zeigen deutlich bessere Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Gasverlustrate. Und nicht zuletzt sind bei sekundären
Dichtstoffen nicht nur die elastischen Rückstellwerte, sondern ebenso das Zugspannungsverhalten (Elastizitätsmodul) zu
berücksichtigen. Für die Verwendung in
Isolierglas sind spezielle Typen von Silikon-Dichtstoffen wie beispielsweise Dow Corning 3362 HD entwickelt worden,
die ein sehr hohes Modul und ein sehr gutes Rückstellprofil unter Grenzbelastungen aufweisen. Mit diesen Dichtstoffen
konnte eine Verbesserung sowohl der Gasdichtigkeit als auch der anderen oben erwähnten Parameter erzielt werden.
2. Für gute Ergebnisse bei der Gasfüllung bzw. Gasverlustrate ist die Verarbeitungsqualität ebenso wichtig wie für die
erfolgreiche Produktion normaler luftgefüllter Isolierglaseinheiten. Es ist unbedingt notwendig, dass Glas und
Abstandshalter gründlich gereinigt sind, so dass Primär- und Sekundär-Dichtstoffe gut haften können, dass die
Abstandshalter-Masshaltigkeit gegeben, die vorgesehene Dimensionierung der Dichtstoffe eingehalten und natürlich der
Primär-Dichtstoff einheitlich und gleichmäßig ohne Störstellen aufgebracht ist. Auch die Sekundär-Dichtung darf keine
Lücken oder Störstellen aufweisen. Abweichungen davon können dazu führen, dass die PIB-Abdichtung übermäßig
beansprucht wird oder versagt und dass so durch diese primäre Barriere Gas entweicht. Zweikomponenten-Dichtstoffe
sind vorschriftsmäßig
zu mischen und im richtigen Mischungsverhältnis zu verwenden.

TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS AND
STANDARDS
Dow Corning 757 Sealant meets the
following standards: conforms to ISO
11600 F&G 25 LM.
JOINT DESIGN
When detailing the sealant joints using
Dow Corning 757 Sealant, the
following should be considered:
• The minimum width should be
6mm. For joints between 6-12mm
wide a minimum seal depth of
6mm is required
Dow Corning sales office for
further advice.
• For joints above 12mm wide, a
width to depth ratio of 2:1
should be used up to a
maximum depth of 12mm
• Joints in excess of 25mm wide
are possible but may require
special application techniques.
It is recommended that specific
recommendations be obtained
from Dow Corning for these
special applications
• In applications where fillet type
joints are to be used, a
minimum of 6mm sealant bite
is recommended for each
substrate
• A sealant used in a fillet type
joint will accommodate less
movement that in a standard
joint
Application method
Apply Dow Corning 757 Sealant
and tool it within 30minutes or
before a cured skin forms to
ensure good contact between the
sealant and the substrate. Tooling
of the sealant also gives a smooth
professional finish. Remove the
masking tape as soon as the bead
is tooled. In areas where uncured
sealant is inadvertently applied to
adjacent surfaces, the sealant
should be cleaned from surfaces
before curing, using a good quality
alcohol-based solvent (follow
solvent manufacturer’s safe
handling recommendations).
HOW TO USE
COMPATIBILITY
Joint Preparation
Clean all joint cavities, removing
all foreign matter and
contaminants from substrates such
as grease, oil, dust, water, frost,
surface dirt, old sealants or glazing
compounds and protective
coatings. Joints to be sealed
should be dry and moisture free.
Metal and painted surfaces should
be cleaned by wiping with an
appropriate solvent on a lint-free
cloth.
Masking
It is recommended that the areas
adjacent to the sealant joint be
masked with an appropriate tape to
prevent contamination of the
substrate and to ensure a neat
sealant line. Masking tape should
be removed immediately after
tooling and before the sealant
starts to form a skin.
Primers
A primer may be required to
promote adhesion on some
substrates. Dow Corning
recommends that a test sample be
carried out prior to application. To
confirm adhesion, testing should
always be carried out prior the
commencement of any project.

Incompatibility with other
components used in the joint
design, i.e. sealant, backer rod,
setting blocks, etc., may exist and
cause negative effects, i.e.
discoloration, loss of adhesion or
other. To prevent this type of
problem from occurring,
Dow Corning offers a
comprehensive technical support
including drawing reviews of
sealant detail, adhesion, staining
and compatibility testing as well
as site visits by technical
personnel.
Dow Corning 757 Sealant is preapproved for compatibility with
Dow Corning® SG and IG silicone
sealants, as mentioned here below:
• Dow Corning® 993 Sealant
• Dow Corning® 895 Sealant
• Dow Corning® 3362 Sealant
• Dow Corning® 3793 Sealant
This compatability is independent
from any Lot-No or production
batch which allows a safe and
durable combination of these
materials in a building design.

Si-hybrid delivers sealing
solution for self cleaning glass
Case Study: Plas Coch
The Project
AV16741
• Set on the edge of the Menai Straits on the Isle of Anglesey, Plas Coch is a prestigious
holiday home park set in 60 acres of beautiful parkland, with spectacular views across
to Snowdonia.
•Following a £ 9.5 m transformation of the facilities, the park was awarded five stars
by the Wales Tourist Board. The park centrepiece, an elegant 16th central Elizabethan
country manor house, has been refurbished to house new luxurious amenities which
include a custom built spa and indoor swimming pool for ultimate relaxation and
pampering.
•Dow Corning® 757 Weatherproofing Sealant was specified for use in conjunction with
Pilkington Activ® self cleaning glass for weather sealing the glazed roof and vertical
elevations which houses the stunning indoor heated swimming area.

The Challenge
As a focal point of this beautiful holiday home park, the indoor swimming area is
required to look pristine at all times, so ease and simplicity in cleaning of the glazed roof
and wall elevations is a top priority. For this reason, Pilkington Activ™ was specified; a
dual action glass with photocatalytic and hydrophilic properties which break down dirt
allowing rainwater to wash away dirt particles. Weatherproofing of the joints in this glass
structure required the selection of a sealant which is compatible with this special glass
coating and accommodates the anticipated building movement whilst providing high
weather resistance.
The Solution
Specialist contractor MAG Hansen erected the curtain wall framework and installed the
self cleaning glass panels, which was in itself a complex challenge, requiring the use of
a tower crane and specific handling equipment. Following long term trials testing for
compatibility, adhesion, flexibility and durability, Dow Corning 757 Sealant is specified
by Pilkington for use with Activ™ glass and was thus installed on this project for sealing
the movement joints in this impressive glazed roof and façade.
Dow Corning 757 Weatherproofing Sealant
Dow Corning 757 Weatherproofing Sealant for photocatalytic clean glass is a neutralcure, one-component, Si-hybrid based, low modulus, architectural grade sealant. It has
been designed for weathersealing of most photocatalytic and hydrophilic clean glass
surfaces where high movement is anticipated and high weather resistance is required to
withstand increased temperature and UV radiation. It is ideal for expansion, connection,
perimeter and other movement joints.
