Application Limits
Most Sikasil® WS, FS, SG, IG, WT, AS and other engineering silicone sealants manufactured by Sika are compatible with each other and with SikaGlaze® IG sealants. For specific information regarding compatibility between various Sikasil® and SikaGlaze® products please contact the Technical Service Department of Sika Industry. All other sealants have to be approved by Sika before using them in combination with Sikasil® IG-16. Where two or more different reactive sealants are used, allow the first to cure completely before applying the next. Sikasil® SG, IG and WT sealants and adhesives may only be used in structural glazing or window bonding applications by experienced professionals and after a detailed examination and written approval of the corresponding project details by the Technical Department of Sika Industry. The compatibility of gaskets, backer rods, setting blocks and other accessory materials with Sikasil® IG-16 must be tested in advance.
