Siltech 9000 will adhere to a wide variety of substrates, including concrete masonry, glass, aluminium, glaze tiles, metals, painted and treated and untreated wood surfaces. If there is any uncertainty regarding the application, adhesion tests should be carried out. Siltech 9000 shows no adhesion to oily or bituminous surfaces. Prolonged exposure to water will cause it to swell, thereby reducing mechanical performance. To achieve good adhesion to the desired substrate, it is recommended that it is dry, clean, grease and dust free.
