BOSTIK 6000

Secondary sealant for insulating glass
Product overview
Bostik 6000 is the next generation single-part hot melt sealant for the production of insulating glass units. With Bostik‚ exclusive i-Boost technology, Bostik 6000 is easy to use and able to actively resist stresses on the system.  Bostik 6000 makes it easy to produce more robust and durable units at the highest application speeds.
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.
Features

Durability

Bostik 6000 has been specifically formulated to offer improved tensile strength, heat resistance and barrier performance for robust units with increased IGU lifespan.

Versatility

Bostik 6000 is extremely versatile in application, with no slumping or stringing. The sealant skins rapidly for a leaner manufacturing process and is proven to be ideal for high speed robotic lines whilst still being fully suited to all automated and manual lines.

No cleaning, mixing, purging or curing is required, hence reduces waste and equipment down-time.

For systems requiring a rigid spacer system, Bostik 6000 is fully compatible with Bostik 2000 PIB primary sealant.


Consistency 

Bostik 6000 contributes to process consistency for a high quality finish and production efficiency. Producing IG units with minimal manual intervention and no 4 th corner pinching becomes a reality with tests conducted resulting in application speed as low as 16.6 seconds for 900mm x 600mm double-glazed units.

Adaptability

With enhanced thermal barrier performance and increased thermal and mechanical resistance, Bostik 6000 is extremely flexible in accommodating the continual stresses and strains demanded of an IGU. This enables unit manufacturers to meet the increasingly stricter regulations for more energy efficient IGUs.

Storage Store unopened in a cool, dry place within the temperature range +5 °C to +25 °C (+41 °F to +77 °F). Prevent damage to the drums as denting may inhibit the function of the application equipment.
Shelf Life 2 years from date of manufacture (see conditions of storage)
