Manufacturing Process

Mixing Phase

  1. Mix Polyurethane Prepolymer with the Silane Coupling Agent at 25°C for 20 minutes using a high-speed dispersion mixer.
  2. Add UV Stabilizer and Antioxidant while maintaining a steady temperature of 25°C and mix for an additional 15 minutes.

Final Processing

  1. Slowly incorporate the Clear Flow Additive while continuously stirring to prevent bubbles.
  2. Add the Curing Agent and Solvent gradually, maintaining a homogeneous mixture.
  3. Conduct viscosity tests to ensure it meets specifications (3000-5000 cps at 25°C).

Usage Instructions

Apply a continuous bead along the joint or seam. Allow curing for 24 hours at room temperature before exposure to outdoor elements. Use a caulking gun for precise applications.
