FA101 is a one part, neutral curing, low modulus, low odour silicone sealant for sealing around frames and glazing units. It exhibits excellent primerless adhesion to many common building substrates such as glass, polyacrylate, polycarbonate, painted wood, varnished wood, anodised aluminium, and forms an excellent waterproof seal.

Usage/purpose

FA101 Premium Glazing Silicone is typically used around glazing. It is also suitable for movement joints, meeting the requirements of EN ISO 11600. It offers good adhesion to most non-porous substrates such as anodized aluminium, polyacrylates, polycarbonates, painted or varnished wood, glass and glazed surfaces.

Not suitable for some substrates such as neoprene, butyl rubber, EPDM, bituminous or tar containing surfaces. Contact with bituminous or tar containing surfaces can lead to discolouration and failing adhesion. Not suitable for trafficable areas. Not suitable for overpainting. For safe sealing on natural stone use FA870/FA880. On other sensitive substrates test first.

When used in IG applications, users are required to check and perform compatibility testing with the unit components and materials prior to use – please contact Tremco CPG technical services department for further advice. Translucent and pure white options have improved resistance to yellowing in areas where no natural light is present (e.g. bathrooms without windows). The other colours may show slight yellowing in such areas.
