Key Features:

•  5005A is a thixotropic paste which can be applied over a wide range of temperatures with no risk of slumping from normal joint widths
• The paste cures rapidly on exposure to moist air to form a tough, rubber seal capable of repeated extension and compression during service with excellent resistance to aging, shrinkage, cracking and discolouration.
• 5005A offers good adhesion to various non-porous substrates such as glass, glazed ceramic tiles and metals (including Aluminium).

Applications:

• 5005A is recommended as a general purpose sealing and bonding agent and can be used to produce formed-in-place gaskets or as a space-filling rubber adhesive.
• Ambersil Silicone Adhesive Sealant 5005A is not recommended in situations where abrasion and physical abuse are encountered.
• It should not be applied to bituminous substrates, substrates based on natural rubber, chloroprene or EPDM or on materials that bleed oils, plasticisers or solvents.
• Sealant 5005A is not recommended for bonding to porous substrates such as stone or marble or surfaces which could react with acetic acid, e.g. lime based cements and mortars and copper-based or Zinc coated (galvanized) metals.
• 5005A is unsuitable for aquarium applications.
