GE SCS1200 Construction sealant is a proven, high-strength, acetoxy-cure silicone designed for glazing applications. It is 100% silicone with exceptional strength and a fast cure time, and is ideal for butt joint, structural, and general glazing. SCS1200 is proven in protective glazing applications and in adding stiffening elements to glass and building panels - securing glass to the frame without a primer, forming a seal that will not crack, shrink or separate.
It can be used without a primer on most nonporus construction materials, substrates and finishes, including glass, glass coatings, polycarbonate, vinyl, plastics, ceramic frits, fluoropolymer and powder coated paints, conversion coatings, and anodized aluminum.
Features & Benefits
- 100% silicone
- One-part, acetoxy cure sealant
- Exceptional durability with high-tensile and high-tear strength to help ensure a strong, secure, lasting bond
- Proven, long-term resistance to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, rain, snow, and wind with negligible change in elasticity
- Once cured, remains elastic in temperatures from -55°F (-48°C) to 300°F (149°C)
- ±25% movement capability, with excellent extension and compression cycling
- Ultra-low VOC (volatile organic compounds)
| - Stable consistency over wide temperature range
- Easy hot and cold condition gunning and tooling
- Secure adhesion without a primer
- Low-sag formula that remains in place until fully cured
- Work life of five to 10 minutes
- Tack free time of 30 minutes
- Cures time of 24 hour cure, with full cure in five to seven days

Limitations
SCS1200 sealant should not be used, applied or is not recommended: - In structural glazing applications unless Momentive Performance Materials has reviewed shop drawings for applicability and has performed adhesion and compatibility tests on project substrates, spacer materials and all accompanying accessories. Review and testing is done on a project-by-project basis. No blanket approval is given by Momentive Performance Materials for structural glazing applications. Structural glazing industry guidelines (ASTM C 1401) 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.
- For use on mirrors.
- For use on wet, damp, frozen or contaminated surfaces.
- For use on masonry, stone, marble, lead, zinc coated metal, bare metal or surfaces subject to corrosion.
- For use as the structural adhesive when bonding some IG unit types. Contact Momentive technical services for guidance.
- Under exceedingly hot or cold conditions (see Sealant Application section for more information).
| - For horizontal decks, patio, driveway or terrace joints where abrasion or physical abuse is encountered.
- When paintability is desired, consider SCS7000 paintable weathersealant.
- Contact Momentive technical services for applications where sealant is used underwater or in continuous contact with water.
- This material requires atmospheric moisture to cure from paste to rubber and may not attain its listed final cured properties when used in designs or applications where silicone is encapsulated and without access to atmospheric moisture.
- Some materials that bleed plasticizers or oils can cause a discoloration on the surface of sealants. When sealing to or over items such as rubberized gaskets, bituminous-based materials, butyl or oil-based products, oily woods, tapes, etc., Momentive Performance Materials recommends that compatibility testing be performed prior to use to confirm the suitability of the use of these materials when in contact with each other.
- Customers must evaluate MPM products and make their own determination as to the fitness of use in their particular applications.
