BOSTIK 5000
BOSTIK 5000 is a hot melt butyl sealant
Product overview
Bostik 5000 Hotmelt Butyl has been specifically formulated for use in the production of insulating glass units. Bostik 5000 is a single part butyl rubber based sealant which, when applied at the correct temperature, sets quickly from its molten state allowing units to be moved from their assembly location between two and five minutes after application. Units can therefore be sealed and glazed within the same day. Bostik 5000 has a high output and fast heat loss enabling optimum turn round of unit production. The combination of these properties also means that corner defects can be easily avoided thereby ensuring a complete seal around the unit.
| Applications | The sealant should be applied by means of a suitable heated dispenser. It is very important that the sealant is applied within the recommended temperature range; therefore it is advisable that the application temperature be checked daily with a digital thermometer at the applicator nozzle whilst applying sealant. Further advice can be obtained from the Bostik Technical Service Department. The sealant should be applied into the cavity of the insulating glass unit in such a manner that complete wetting of the glass and spacer occurs. If an internal locating nozzle is used, the nozzle should be checked regularly to avoid excessive wear, in order to ensure that the correct seal depth is maintained. Care should be taken on sealing each corner and the sealant should be pressed together whilst still molten by means of a silicone rubber pad, or other method. This is to prevent any holes or gaps in the sealant at the corners, which could lead to premature unit failure. If the units are to be stored on a rack ensure that they are adequately supported under both panes of glass. |
