Manus-Bond 75-A

Manus-Bond® 75-A Xtreme Silicone is a one-component, non-slump silicone sealant that cures to a tough, medium-modulus, elastomer when exposed to room temperature atmospheric moisture. It is designed for general construction sealing applications and for glazing details found in fenestration and industrial fabrication and installation industries. This neutral cure (oxime) silicone system exhibits excellent adhesion to aluminum, steel, glass, wood, silicone rubber, many common construction materials, various plastics, and a variety of painted surfaces, including, for example, Kynar®. The tack-free time and fast strength build-up characteristics are excellent, allowing movement without bondline failure. 75-A Xtreme Silicone meets the requirements of ASTM C920, Type S, Grade NS, Class 50; AAMA 802.3, 803.3, 805.2, and 808.3; and Federal Specifications TT-S-001543A and TT-S-00230C.

Surface Preparations and Directions of Use

Apply to clean dry surfaces. Cleaning of metal, glass or plastic surfaces should be by a solvent wipe procedure or by mechanical means. Detergent or soap and water cleaning treatments are not recommended. In all cases where used, solvents shall be applied with one clean cloth or a lintless paper towel, and wiped clean with a second cloth or towel. Cleaning solvents should not be allowed to air dry or evaporate without wiping. Finished sealant bead should not exceed ½” wide by ½” deep. Closed-cell polyethylene backer rod can be installed so that the sealant depth is not less than ?” or more than ½”.

Precautions

Manus-Bond® 75-A Xtreme Silicone is not paintable. If your application requires a paintable sealant, consult Manus Products for recommended alternatives. Some applications, cleaners, or solvents may not be compatible with this product. Compatibility testing is mandatory where 75-A Xtreme Silicone is in direct contact with any other sealant, elastomer, thermal-break compound, or paint. Use with adequate ventilation. Inhalation of vapor during application and cure may cause eye or throat irritation. In case of contact with eyes, lips, or mouth, flush thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, consult a physician. Avoid repeated, prolonged contact with skin. See SDS for additional information. KEEP OUT OF REACH FROM CHILDREN.

Clean Up

Excess cured material must be cut or scraped away followed by wiping with isopropyl alcohol, aromatic or ketone-type solvents. The use of these solvents (or other solvents) may be hazardous to your health. KEEP AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME. Tools and application equipment may be cleaned with the same solvent. Follow the precautions and instructions of the solvent manufacturers.
