DescriptionSA AQUARIUM Silicone Sealant is a safe, 100% high modulus, one-component, silicone sealant designed for the construction of fresh water and sea water aquariums. After application the silicone cures with atmospheric moisture to form a durable rubber seal.

Key performance Properties• Designed for Aquariums• Fast Curing• Excellent Adhesion• 5 Star VOC Compliant

• Non Slump• Outstanding Weatherability• Excellent UV Resistance

ApplicationsSA Aquarium is used as an adhesive and sealant for full-glass constructions, such as aquariums and terrariums. Aquarium silicone has excellent adhesion to glass without a primer. SA Aquarium is non toxic to � sh when fully cured. For selecting glass thickness of the sides and the bottom of the � sh tank we refer to DIN 32622. As a joint thickness between the sides and the bottom, 1-2mm is advised. Finish internal angles as a triangular joint of 3-5mm depending on the water level. The sealant must be fully cured, curing time up to one week before it can be transported or � lled with water. After curing of the sealant, rinse the aquarium several times with water before put into use. (*REFER TO APPLICATION GUIDE FOR RECOMMENDED CONSTRUCTION METHOD & GUIDELINES)
