Maximum design flexibility and exceptional performance come together in SSG4600 UltraGlaze Sealant. SSG4600 is an excellent candidate for in-shop curtainwall fabrication and other structural glazing applications. With excellent strength and tear resistance, SSG4600 offers enhanced safety and weatherproofing capabilities.
SSG4600 UltraGlaze sealant is a two-part, 100% silicone based sealant with a neutral cure and outstanding mechanical properties. SSG4600 has superb strength, durability, and flexibility you can count on long into the future. Its adjustable work life can accommodate your production requirements without any trade-offs in performance. It is also easy to apply, with rapid adhesion and strength build-up.

Features & Benefits
Cured silicone rubber exhibits excellent long term resistance to natural weathering including: extreme temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, rain and snow, with negligible change in elasticity
Attains strong bonds to many conventional substrates and finishes without the need of a primer
Low pumping viscosity leads to decreased stress on equipment can lead to longer pump life and reduced maintenance costs
Fast adhesion build enhances early stability of assembled parts
SSG4600 offers an excellent combination of strength, flexibility and tear resistance to help counter the higher forces created by hurricane, impact and blast loads
Compatible with GE Insulating Glass, Structural and Weathersealing silicones
Applications
Adjustable work life—Variable ratio of parts A+B to accommodate assembly and application under varying conditions
High application rate—Faster and more thorough joint filling capability with easier tooling effort
In structural glazing applications such as factory glazing of curtainwall units and modules for unitized and panelized systems
As a weatherseal product, when movement expected in the joint does not exceed its movement capability (±25%)
In protective glazing applications
SSG4600 UltraGlaze sealant securely bonds without a primer to many substrates and finishes, including glass, polycarbonate, coated and anodized aluminum, and ceramic frits. Some finishes or substrates may require a primer.

Limitations
Structural glazing industry guidelines (ASTM C1401) suggest that drawings and details are to be reviewed by all parties involved in the manufacture of an SSG system and for each building project. SSG4600 should be used in structural glazing applications only after Momentive Performance Materials (MPM) has reviewed detailed design drawings and has performed adhesion and compatibility tests on project substrates and relevant spacer materials. Review and testing is done on a project-by-project basis. No blanket approval is given by MPM for structural glazing applications.
MPM requires testing on a project-by-project basis each substrate and component used in a structural glazing assembly for adhesion and compatibility. No blanket approvals exist relative to adhesion or compatibility of SSG4600 with such materials.
Not recommended for water immersion applications.
