This high modulus component RTV Silicone Sealant forms strong cohesive bonds to glass without the need of primers. The bonds are unaffected by continuous immersion in water and, when fully cured, is non-toxic to fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASI Aquarium Silicone Sealant is a non-slump sealant and can be applied to vertical surfaces without flowing or sagging. Because Aquarium is a 100% silicone sealant, it has excellent resistance to weathering including ozone, ultra-violet radiation, freeze-thaw conditions and airborne chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eASI Aquarium Silicone Sealant can be applied to surface temperatures from -18°C to +50°C (0°F to +120°F) and after curing, withstands constant operating temperatures from -57°C to +233°C (-70° F to 450°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully cured, ASI 502 AQ has excellent adhesion to glass, metal, porcelain, ceramic, stone, wood, most plastics and many other nonporous substrates. Generally it can also be used in food service installations, walk-in refrigerators, general sealing and waterproofing, and similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTYPICAL USES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquarium construction, both Salt Water and Fresh Water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFish Ponds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFountains (not postable water tested or certified).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonds directly to properly cleaned glass and aquarium frames without primer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithstands constant immersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical or Horizontal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV and Color stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow sealant to cure 7 - 10 days before adding water and fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSURFACE PREPARATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll surfaces should be dry and clean. 100% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or acetone can be used to clean the surface depending on the substrate.\u003cbr\u003eDO NOT USE petroleum based solvents.

In applications where partial or total confinement of sealant is\u003cbr\u003eprevalent, the time required for proper cure is generally lengthened by\u003cbr\u003ethe degree of confinement.
