Use Silicone N60 for: Structural glazing, weather sealing, and general glazing applications. Ideal for curtain walls, building facades, and laminated glass.
Silicone N60 is a one-component, non-flowing, high modulus silicone sealant that cures by absorbing atmospheric moisture. Its thixotropic nature ensures it will not slump in typical construction joints, providing a clean and professional finish. This sealant is designed for demanding architectural applications, offering excellent natural aging stability and maintaining its elastomeric properties even under harsh conditions and temperature extremes.
