Voith (UK) Ltd.Project Background
The project was to replace all sealant joints on the external building facade that was having an overal face lift and repaint ahead of a VIP visit to the factory plant.
Application
The old sealant was removed by cutting back as far as possible with a Stanley knife and any residue sealant on the glass was cleanly removed by scraping with a blade. Once brushed clean, both the aluminium frame and glass was then cleaned using a surface cleaner in preparation. Once dried, our 825 LM silicone in white was then applied in a 6x6mm chamfoured fillet joint between the aluminium frame to the glass and correctly tooled in. The 825 LM silicone in white was additionally used to seal 20mm x 20mm butt joints horizontally under the building roofline and vertical column joints, which was then tooled smoothly in against adjecent substrates.
