About Dowsil 736 High Temperature Industrial Sealants
DOWSIL 733 Glass and Metal Sealant is a paste-like, one-component material that cures to a tough, rubbery solid upon exposure to moisture in the air. Because it does not flow, this sealant can be applied overhead or on sidewall joints and surfaces without sagging, slumping or running off. DOWSIL 733 Glass and Metal Sealant is specially formulated to provide good adhesion to various substrates.
LISTINGS / SPECIFICATONS
Recognized under UL 94 HB Complies with FDA
Regulation 21 CFR 177.2600 for incidental contact with food.
Robust Heat ResistanceEngineered to operate reliably between -60C and +315C, Dowsil 736 provides trusted sealing and bonding even in extreme heat. Its advanced silicone formulation maintains integrity where other sealants might degrade, making it essential for high-temperature industrial applications.
Superior Durability and FlexibilityWith an elongation at break of 400% and a Shore A hardness of 25, Dowsil 736 remains flexible while delivering robust sealing. It resists water, ozone, and many chemicals, ensuring long-lasting protection for metal, glass, ceramics, and plastics exposed to harsh environments.
Effortless Application and Fast CuringPackaged in a 300 ml cartridge for standard caulking guns, this paste applies easily to vertical or horizontal surfaces. Skin forms in 10-20 minutes, and full cure is achieved in just 24 hours, streamlining installation and minimizing downtime in your maintenance or production processes.
FAQs of Dowsil 736 High Temperature Industrial Sealants:
Q: How do I properly apply Dowsil 736 High Temperature Sealant?
A: Clean and dry the bonding surfaces before applying. Use a standard caulking gun to dispense the sealant, forming a continuous bead 16 mm thick. Tool the sealant within 10-20 minutes of application for smooth adhesion. Let it cure for 24 hours at 25C and 50% relative humidity for optimal strength.
Q: What environments and materials is Dowsil 736 suitable for?
A: Dowsil 736 is designed for industrial settings exposed to extreme temperatures, such as furnaces and ovens. It adheres well to metal, glass, ceramics, and many plastics, making it versatile for sealing and bonding assemblies in demanding environments.
Q: When does Dowsil 736 reach full cure and become tack free?
A: The sealant becomes tack free in approximately 17 minutes after application and fully cures in 24 hours at 25C with 50% relative humidity. Cure time may vary with temperature, humidity, and bead thickness.
Q: What are the key benefits of using Dowsil 736 over standard sealants?
A: Dowsil 736 offers superior resistance to high temperatures (up to 315C), water, ozone, and many chemicals. Its excellent elongation and flexibility make it ideal where joints might expand or contract. Additionally, it meets ASTM C920 and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 standards.
Q: Where should Dowsil 736 be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: To preserve its quality, store Dowsil 736 below 27C in a dry location. When stored correctly in unopened containers, it has a shelf life of up to 12 months from the manufacturing date.
Q: What is the recommended process for reapplying or repairing a seal made with Dowsil 736?
A: First, remove the old sealant and thoroughly clean the surface. Apply fresh Dowsil 736 following standard procedures. Ensure the new bead blends well into the original for consistent sealing and let it cure completely before subjecting to high temperatures.
Q: Can Dowsil 736 be used in food-related applications?
A: Yes, Dowsil 736 complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, making it suitable for certain food contact applications. However, always verify specific requirements and consult with your local distributor to ensure compliance for your intended use.
