Description

DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant is a two-component, neutral curing silicone formulation for insulating glass applications. DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant is suitable as a secondary seal in gas-filled insulating glass units and meets the requirements according to EN 1279 in an IG system. It is suitable for gas-filled triple and double glazed IG. As valid for any other technology, a proper application and fabrication of the insulating glass unit is required.

Produced in compliance with the internationally recognised PAS 2060 verified carbon neutrality standard, Dow Carbon-Neutral Silicones for Building Façades can support green-building design initiatives, enhance façade sustainability, and improve green-building ratings across the construction industry.

Part A Base — white - 250kg
Part B Catalyst — black - 25kg

Key Features

Economical joint sizes in high strength IG applications
High design strength (0.21 MPa) allowing joint size reduction up to 30%
Enhanced productivity with reduced joint dimensions
European Technical Approval (ETA13/0359)
Sustainability: Low embodied carbon DOWSIL™ Silicone
Project specific DOW Carbon Neutrality Certificate on request
Externally verified carbon neutrality according to PAS 2060
Suitable for gas-filled triple glazed units and gas-filled double glazed units
Structural capability as secondary sealant for insulating glass in structural glazing applications
Outstanding adhesion to a wide range of substrates including coated and reflective glasses, aluminium and steel spacers, and a variety of plastics
Meets EN 1279 part 4 and 6 and EN 13022
Tested according to EN 15434
Low water absorption
Excellent temperature stability: -50°C to 150°C
Non-corrosive cure
Fast curing time
Outstanding resistance to ozone and ultraviolet (UV) radiation
High modulus which limits the stress on the primary sealant and makes it particularly suited for gas-filled insulating glass units

Scope of Use

DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant is a high strength secondary two-part silicone sealant specifically designed for high strength applications, where conventional sealants with lower strength would lead to increased joint sizes. It enables economical joint sizes in highly demanding insulating glass (IG) applications such as: high wind in tall buildings, hurricane loads, cold-bent glass or high impact loads such as bomb blast. Smaller joint dimensions can be filled faster and therefore lead to productivity enhancements
DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant is ideal as a secondary sealant for triple and double glazed units and meets EN 1279 requirements for gas-filled IG
DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant can be used in IG applications for structurally glazed facades. It is UV resistant, provides long-term durability and excellent adhesion to glass and IG spacers

Limitations on Use
