Applications
5005A is recommended as a general purpose sealing and bonding agent and can be used to produce
formed-in-place gaskets or as a space-filling rubber adhesive.
Ambersil Silicone Adhesive Sealant 5005A is not recommended in situations where abrasion and physical
abuse are encountered. It should not be applied to bituminous substrates, substrates based on natural
rubber, chloroprene or EPDM or on materials that bleed oils, plasticisers or solvents. Sealant 5005A is not
recommended for bonding to porous substrates such as stone or marble or surfaces which could react with
acetic acid, e.g. lime based cements and mortars and copper-based or Zinc coated (galvanized) metals.
5005A is unsuitable for aquarium applications.
Directions For Use
• CAUTION: On direct contact uncured sealant irritates the eyes. In
case of contact, remove sealant, flush eyes with plenty of water and
seek medical attention.
• JOINT PREPARATION: The joint should first be checked to ensure
that the dimensions comply with the drawing. The joint faces to be
bonded must be free from frost, loose debris, dust, oil and grease.
Non-porous surfaces should be cleaned with non-oily solvent (e.g.
Ambersil Amberklene FE10). Flaking paint or lacquer should be
removed.
• JOINT DESIGN: The mean joint width should not be less than
4 times the total expected movement. For optimum movement
accommodation:
• (a) the joint depth or width should not be less than 3mm
• (b) the joint depth should be 3mm up to a joint width of 6mm
• (c) above joint widths of 6mm the joint depth should equal half the
width.
• BACK-UP MATERIAL: Back-up strips can be used to control the
joint depth and minimise adhesion to the back of the joint. Expanded
polyethylene in rectangular or rod form is recommended, but
polyurethane and neoprene can also be used. Some rubbers contain
plasticisers which may bleed into the silicone sealant and discolour it.
A test on these backing materials should be made to ensure staining
does not occur.
