Silirub AQ is a premium-grade silicone designed for constructing and repairing aquariums and terrariums. It provides strong, elastic, and safe bonding suitable for aquatic environments.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Very easy to apply
- Colourfast and UV resistant
- Permanent elastic after curing
- Very good adhesion on glass
- Completely neutral after curing
APPLICATIONS
- Construction of full glass aquaria and terraria.
- Bonding of glass constructions.
- Repairing of all-glass aquariums.
SHELF LIFE
12 months in original, unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place with temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.
NOTES
- Even though Silirub AQ is acetic, the product is not poisonous after curing so all types of aquaria can be constructed which can be populated by all sorts of fish.
- Only suitable for aquaria built according to DIN32622: max. dimensions 200 x 60 x 60cm, use the correct thickness of glass.
- Add sufficient reinforcements to avoid bending of the glass.
- Minimum bond thickness should be 1 mm.
- Never fill the aquarium until fully cured.
- When using different reactive joint sealants, the first joint sealant must be completely hardened before the next one is applied.
- Small quantities of acetic acid are released during the curing of the product. The product must be fully cured before the first filling of the aquarium or terrarium. This depends on the temperature, humidity and layer thickness. Depending on the circumstances, the curing may take several days.
- For faster curing, we recommend increasing the humidity in the aquarium/terrarium. For example, place a container filled with warm water in the aquarium or terrarium. Cleaning the basin with pure water also removes the last remains of the acetic acid.
- The adhesive layer must be protected against shocks until full cure of the product, otherwise, cracks/bubbles will be present in the adhesive or the adhesive may lose adhesion from the glass.
- The thickness of the adhesive layer must be at least 1 mm after curing.
