Features Of Dow DOWSIL 4-8012 Sealant and Adhesive

  1. High-performance, one-component, moisture-curing silicone elastomer offering excellent adhesion to glass, aluminum, anodized metals, and many plastics without primer.

  2. Outstanding resistance to UV radiation, thermal cycling, and weathering—maintains elasticity and integrity over extended service life.

  3. Low modulus formulation provides superior joint movement capability (±50% joint movement per ASTM C719) and stress relief in dynamic substrates.

  4. Non-corrosive to sensitive substrates including copper, brass, and galvanized steel—suitable for electronics and architectural metal assemblies.

  5. Meets UL 94 HB flammability rating and complies with RoHS and REACH directives for restricted substances.

Typical Applications Of Dow DOWSIL 4-8012 Sealant and Adhesive

  1. Sealing and bonding of insulating glass (IG) units in commercial and residential fenestration systems.

  2. Structural glazing secondary sealant for spandrel and vision panels in curtain wall construction.

  3. Adhesive-sealant for LED lighting housings, display enclosures, and electronic control boxes requiring environmental protection.

  4. Bonding of solar panel frames, junction box gaskets, and PV module edge seals in photovoltaic assemblies.

  5. General-purpose sealing of HVAC ductwork, cleanroom partitions, and pharmaceutical process equipment where low VOC and non-staining performance are critical.
