• Clean.
• Dry.
• Free from dust.
• Free from dirt.
• Free from loose rust.
• Free from oil.
• Free from contaminants.
• Free from loose material.

Contamination can interfere with adhesion between the Silicone Sealant and substrate.

Preparing Non-Porous Surfaces

Suitable non-porous surfaces should be cleaned with an appropriate solvent and a clean, lint-free cotton cloth according to the product instructions.

Residual solvent should then be removed using a fresh, clean, dry cloth before it evaporates.

This preparation helps ensure the transparent silicone sealant comes into direct contact with a properly prepared substrate.

How to Apply GP General Purpose Silicone Sealant Clear

Prepare the Surface

Clean and dry the joint thoroughly before application.

Open the Cartridge

Cut open the cartridge thread.

Attach the Nozzle

Secure the nozzle onto the cartridge.

Cut to the Required Bead Size

Trim the nozzle according to the required bead dimensions.

Apply the Sealant

Using a suitable sealant gun, apply the material in a continuous bead or layer according to the application.

Allow Moisture Curing

GP Clear Silicone requires moisture to cure. Allow sufficient curing time before exposing the finished joint to full service conditions.

What Affects Silicone Curing Time?

The curing rate depends on environmental conditions.

Curing may take longer when:

• Temperatures are low.
• Humidity is low.
• Air exchange is limited.

For this reason, the curing period may differ from one project to another.

Temperature, humidity, airflow, bead dimensions, and substrate conditions can all influence the curing process.
