... silicone glazing has become very common to achieve aesthetically pleasing and high utilization of small land for both residential and commercial building. Because there has been no industry-wide guideline or specification for structural silicone sealants in Korea, it is worthwhile to look...

...J. T. Hanks; D. W. Smith; C. J. Stevens; R. E. Winkel A fractional percentage of a silicone compound was inadvertently introduced in one lot of Rheolube synthetic hydrocarbon grease used in the spin bearings of our momentum control systems. As a result, a decision had to made in a very short time...

.... Additionally, expected strains in the sealant were calculated using a linear-elastic finite element model and were then compared with the strains the actual structural sealant joint underwent during system testing. Silicone sealant damage was evaluated using visual observation before and after cyclic racking...

...Sigurd Sitte; Michael J. Brasseur; Lawrence D. Carbary; Andreas T. Wolf The paper reports on the preliminary evaluation of a transparent structural silicone adhesive (TSSA) developed for point fixing in glazing, which combines high transparency, strong adhesion performance, thermal stability...

...Jerome M. Klosowski; Edward S. Breeze; David H. Nicastro Silicone sealants have been used widely in the waterproofing industry because they resist deterioration. However, residue from silicone sealant (or from pre-formed silicone seals) can be difficult to remove from adjacent surfaces...

..., sealant chemistry, product formulation, building location, climate, and joint orientation, among other factors. This paper compares and shows the long-term performance of three construction sealant types: silicone, polyurethane, and acrylic terpolymer. Performance attributes such as toughness, flexibility...

..., or under controlled stress (load) that model hurricane-force wind loads or design pressures. An immediate stress-softening response was observed from controlled-strain experiments at 15 % movement that was ascribed to the Mullins effect; however, three of the four cured silicone sealants exhibited a modest...

...Kenneth Yarosh; Andreas T. Wolf; Sigurd Sitte Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing systems. With the recent threat of terrorist attacks, there has been an increased use of windows designed to mitigate...

..., the RILEM TC139-DBS “Durability of Building Sealants” was created to develop new and more adapted testing. The testing proposed by this comity, was a combination of accelerated weathering (humidity and UV) combined with thermo-mechanical cycling. This study compares the durability of silicone sealants...
