SILACOLL
MED Approved Incombustible Mineral Adhesives
Product Description
Silacoll adhesives (Renofix RT) are leightweight, safe, easy to use, fast curing, incombustible, silicate based mineral adhesives. They are temperature resistant up to > 1000 °C. They build up a strong wet adhesion, making a static support during drying, in many cases, redundant. Silacoll adhesives are MED certified, water based and completely solvent free.
Typical Applications
Silacoll adhesives are suitable for bonding mineral based materials, metal, wood and glass. A typical application is the mechanical gluing of various insulation boards. In systems where the water, bound in the adhesive is not able to evaporate (i.e. manufacturing of fireproof doors), it is recommended to add Silacoll hardener, using a dosage system.
Benefits and Properties
Silacoll adhesives are easily applied using a notched trowel. After application the insulation board is pressed against the substrate by hand for a few seconds in order to develop the necessary wet adhesion.
