FS500 is one-part, neutral curing, low modulus, low odour silicone sealant suitable for perimeter joint sealing applications with high movement capability. It has excellent adhesion to most porous substrates.
Usage/Purpose
FS500 is ideal for use in: expansion & curtain wall joints, perimeter joints around windows or doors, panel joints between most common substrates, heel and toe beads, polycarbonate glazing and other general joint sealing applications.
Long-term resistance to weathering, ageing and extra UV protection
Low modulus formulation ensures minimum stress at joint faces
Neutral cure: low odour and non-corrosive
Modern colour range in low sheen finish
Easy to tool into place and smooth off
Usage Guidelines
FS500 is ideal for use in: expansion & curtain wall joints, perimeter joints around windows or doors, panel joints between most common substrates, heel and toe beads, polycarbonate glazing and other general joint sealing applications.
