EASY SEALING
WITH WACKER ® SILICONE SEALANTS
HIGH-PERFORMANCE SILICONE
SEALANTS FOR EXCELLENT RESULTS
A silicone sealant always
finds use where a gap
requires filling or a joint
needs to be sealed.
Compared with alternative
sealing systems, silicone
sealants will last a very
long time, thanks to their
stable quality.
Silicone sealants do not
exhibit high shrinkage and
have excellent movement
capability. Therefore,
they are ideally suited for
walls and floors of buildings
or washbasins and bath
tubs that are typically ex-
posed to some movement.
Furthermore, silicone
sealants offer cost-efficient
yet durable solutions.

Use of Back-up Material Function of Back-up Material 1. 4. 7.

Back-up material, which is made of Polyethylene
foam, controls depth of joint and helps to avoid 3
side adhesion. The size of back-up material should
be bigger than the width of joint, and bond breaker
tape is recommendable when round or rectangular
back-up material cannot be applied due to insuffi-
cient depth of joint. It is also recommended that the
quantity of back-up material should be prepared for
day by day use and the depth of joint should be
conformed to design drawing.
When structural silicone sealant is applied, double-
sided adhesive spacer can be a substitute for back-
up material. This is to fix subsidiary material until
silicone sealant is cured. In this case, structural bite
and glue line thickness should be conformed to sili-
cone sealant’s calculation report.
• Control application depth and shape of
silicone sealant
• Prevent crack caused by 3 side adhesion
• Help silicone sealant to be applied flat when tooling
• Control amount of silicone sealant used
Function of Back-up Material
Checking Joint Applying masking tape Tooling
• Check if design of joint is correct Apply masking tape to keep out Eliminate inside bubble using
• Check if the width and depth of of silicone sealant residue on spatula and press surface until
joint are correctly calculated substrate around joint silicone sealant is fully stuffed
When back-up material is used before it starts curing.

3 side adhesion (When back-up material is not used)

Design for Joint Depth Design for Joint Depth

The ideal depth of joint is 2/3 of joint width (Example: Cleaning and dehydrating
depth is 15mm when width is 20mm) and the depth substrate
of joint should be between 6mm and 20mm. Get rid of dust, dirt, oil etc. and
make surethat the surface is dry
to prevent low perfomance of
adhesion
Spraying Primer Getting rid of masking tape
Use and select primer according to Get rid of masking tape after
recommendation by silicone sealant finishing surface
manufacturer to strengthen adhesive
power when adhesive power of
silicone sealant alone is insufficient.

3. 6. 9.

Decision of Joint Depth

Normally, the depth of silicone sealant is ½<D/W<1.0 (D : Depth, W: Width)
If W>= 15mm, D=1/2~2/3W, W< 15mm, D=2/3~1W
It is recommendable: Concrete: D=1/2~2/3W, Metal: D=1/2W

Inserting Back-up material Applying Silicone Sealant Finishing

• Use polyethylene or polyurethane
foam for back-up material
• Keep silicone sealant thickness
consistent and use round or
rectangular back-up material
• Use a bit bigger size than joint
width and install it undamaged
in consistent depth
Cut nozzle suitable for the width of Trim up silicone sealant around
joint first then insert nozzle into the substrate.
bottom of joint and apply.
10. Curing
Keep sealed area out of contact,
contamination and movement at
least 48 hours
