Description
of Application
The direct glazing of mineral glass (toughened security
glass) into frames or directly into the hull or deck,
requires a full understanding of all the important principles
involved.
It is essential that the glass
meet all the demands and standards required for the
intended application. For insulation glass, total bonding
consistency must be ensured through the complete use
of Sikaflex® adhesives for all of the installation,
i.e. no silicones.
The polyurethane adhesive bond
face must also be protected against UV radiation. This
may be achieved by several materials:
Using a black, ceramic coated
border with a light transmission of less than 0.01%
(measured with Gretag D 200 visible range). Or by using
an overlapping trim with a width twice that of the glass
thickness.
For glass without a black, ceramic
coated border or without the overlapping trim, Sika®
UV Shielding Tape for proper protection of the bondline
(plastic or metal) should be used.
