Substrate Description 0.38mm B104 Grey PVB film layer - 250x250mm
Surface to test Uniform Surface
Sealant Application Recommendation
DOWSILᵀᴹ 688 Glazing & Cladding Silicone Sealant Approved for Contact in Weatherseal Applications
DOWSILᵀᴹ 791 Silicone Weatherproofing Sealant Approved for Contact in Weatherseal Applications
DOWSILᵀᴹ 795 Structural Glazing Sealant Approved for Contact in Structural Applications
DOWSILᵀᴹ 983 Structural Glazing Sealant Approved for Contact in Structural Applications
Based on the ASTM C-1087 test method, compatible or approved results indicate that the Dow silicone sealants
tested adhered to the test material. ASTM C-1087 is a qualitative adhesion test but a good indication for non-
moving applications. Compatible or approved results from the above test indicate that Dow sealant tested is not
adversely affected by contact with the test material sampled. Dow will not comment on whether the Dow sealant
will affect the test material sampled. You must consult with the supplier of the test material sampled to receive
their statement on compatibility.
Based on the results of the above test, we have determined that the Dow sealant tested is not adversely affected
by contact with the cured sealant product tested. Dow will not comment on whether the Dow sealant will affect the
sealant product tested. You must consult with the supplier of the sealant product for their statement on
compatibility. Dow cannot control any formulation changes by the sealant manufacturer which may affect
compatibility. To ensure full compatibility between sealants, we recommend that you consider the use of an
equivalent Dow product for this application.
For structural glazing application, the results of the compatibility testing are only valid when Dow has approved
glazing details, and has tested and approved all substrates and accessory materials that contact the structural
silicone sealant.
The results of the compatibility testing are only valid as long as the supplier certifies that neither the formulation
nor manufacturing process for these materials has been changed.
Application recommendations are based on Dow laboratory testing, evaluation and technical specifications.
Sincerely,
