Description Ultra-low-modulus sealant for masonry, concrete and natural stone façades. DOWSIL™ 790

Silicone Building Sealant provides excellent performance, even in building joints that experience extreme movement. It places a low stress on the sealant/substrate bond line to minimize failures in moving joints.

DOWSIL™ 790 Silicone Building Sealant is available in black and gray.

Approvals/ Specifications

This sealant meets or exceeds the requirements of:

• ISO 11600F 25LM

• EN15651 – CE MARK

• ASTM Specification C 920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50, Use T, NT, M, G, A, and

O

How to Use Surface Preparation Ensure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and grease-free. Porous substrates such as concrete, brickwork, mortar, etc. must be mechanically cleaned of loose particles using a steel brush, sanding disc or any similar means. Clean non-porous surface with DOWSIL™ R-40 Universal Cleaner, dry thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth and wait for at least half an hour before application of sealant.

Note: When using any solvent, always provide adequate ventilation. Avoid heat, sparks and open flames. Use solvent resistant gloves. Observe and follow all precautions listed on solvent container label.

Masking Areas adjacent to the joints should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of the substrates and to ensure a neat sealant line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling.

Priming Primers are not usually required on stone, concrete and masonry substrates. On non-porous substrates such as anodized aluminum, priming might be needed. It is recommended to carry out test on such substrates to assess the need for priming. A suitable primer on non-porous substrates is DOWSIL™ 1200 OS Primer. Allow at least half an hour between priming and sealant application. Please contact Dow’s technical service in case of doubt.

How to Use (Cont.) Back-up Materials Where back-up material is required, open cell backer rod is recommended. Back-up materials provide back pressure and avoid three sided adhesion that limits sealant movement capability.

Finishing The joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish.

Clean-Up If sealant is misapplied to porous substrates, it should be left until it is just cured and then removed by peeling, cutting or other mechanical means. Care should be taken not to damage plastic or coated surfaces.

Joint Design The sealant joint width should be designed to accommodate the movement capability of the sealant. When designing joints using DOWSIL™ 790 Silicone Building Sealant, the minimum width should be 6 mm. For joints between 6–12 mm wide, a seal depth of 6 mm is required. For joints above 12 mm wide, a width to depth ratio of 2:1 should be used. As the sealant joint width becomes larger than 25 mm, the depth should be held at approximately 9 mm to 12 mm. In situations where fillet joints are needed, a minimum of 6 mm sealant bite to each substrate is recommended. For joint dimensions with a width greater than 25 mm or a depth greater than 15 mm, please contact your regional service centers for technical assistance.

Usable Life and Storage

When stored at or below 32°C, DOWSIL™ 790 Silicone Building Sealant has a shelf life of 12 months from date of manufacture. Refer to product packaging for “Use By” date.

Limitations DOWSIL™ 790 Silicone Building Sealant should not be applied:

• In structural applications.

• Below grade or to materials that outgas, which can cause bubbling in curing sealant.

• On brass or copper or other similar material that can be corroded.

• To surfaces that are continuously immersed in water.

• For use as an interior penetration firestop sealing system.

• To building materials that bleed oils, plasticizers, or solvents – materials such as impregnated wood, oil based caulks, green or partially vulcanized rubber gaskets, or tapes or bituminous below-grade waterproofing and asphalt-impregnated fiberboard.

• In totally confined spaces because the sealant requires atmospheric moisture for cure.

• To surfaces that will be painted after application. The paint film will not stretch with the extension of the sealant and may crack and peel and most likely will not adhere to the sealant.

• To surfaces in direct or indirect contact with food.

Page 4 of 4 ®Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company Form No. 62-2147-01-0220 S2D

Limitations (Cont.) • To wet or frost-laden surfaces.

• In applications where solvents or primers are not fully dried prior to sealant application.

Uncured sealant is very sensitive to many solvents, primers, and cleaning agents; these may cause the sealant to remain uncured or tacky.

Description DOWSIL™ 795 Silicone Building Sealant is a one-part, neutral-cure, architectural-grade sealant that easily extrudes in any weather and cures quickly at room temperature. This cold-applied, non-sagging silicone material cures to a medium modulus silicone rubber upon exposure to atmospheric moisture. The cured sealant is durable and flexible enough to accommodate ± 50 percent movement of original joint dimension when installed in a properly designed weather seal joint. In a properly designed structurally glazed joint, the sealant is strong enough to support glass and other panel materials under high wind load.

Preparation Clean all joints, removing all foreign matter and contaminants such as grease, oil, dust, water, frost, surface dirt, old sealants or glazing compounds and protective coatings.

Application Method Install backing material or joint filler, setting blocks, spacer shims and tapes. Mask areas adjacent to joints to ensure neat sealant lines. Primer is generally not required on non-porous surfaces, but may be necessary for optimal sealing of certain porous surfaces. A test placement is always recommended. Apply DOWSIL™ 795 Silicone Building Sealant in a continuous operation using positive pressure. (The sealant can be applied using many types of air-operated guns and most types of bulk dispensing equipment.) Before a skin forms (typically within 15 minutes), tool the sealant with light pressure to spread the sealant against the backing material and joint surfaces. Remove masking tape as soon as the bead is tooled.
