PRIME MARBLE

PRIME MARBLE

— A special-application sealant designed for use with marble and other natural stone that will not bleed into the marble or other natural stone and damage it, unlike many sealants —

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Prime Marble is an elastic, single-component silicone sealant suitable for indoor and outdoor use where there is contact with marble and other natural stone. Prime Marble has a 25 percent maximum movement tolerance and a curing system that is neutral, thus avoiding the seepage of solvents and plasticizers one often sees from competing sealants, seepage that can discolor and damage marble and natural stone when it comes in contact with it.

BENEFITS:

• An elastic silicone-based sealant

• Weather resistant

• No plasticizer migration on absorbent substrates

• Long-lasting

• Good adhesion to metals

WHERE TO USE:

• Marble

• UV resistant

• Compatible with paints

• Compatible with copper

• Low odor

• Solvent-free

• Compatible with fungicides

• Other natural stone • Underwater • Not suitable for use with plastics or mirrors

ADHERE AMERICA, INC. PRIME MARBLE

PRIME MARBLE is an elastic, single-component silicone sealant designed especially for indoor and outdoor use in contact with marble and other natural stone surfaces, with 25% maximum movement tolerance. Prime Marble employs a neutral curing system. Like all products from Adhere America, Prime Marble is a “Best in Class Problem Solver.”

SPECIAL PROPERTIES

❑ Elastic silicone-based sealant

❑ No plasticizer migration onto absorbent substrates

❑ Low odor formulation

❑ Aging-, weather- & USV- resistant

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

❑ Compatible with paints & copper

❑ Good adhesion to metal

❑ Comes with fungicide

❑ Available without fungicide upon request

❑ For sealing & connecting joints that come into contact with marble & other types of natural stone.

❑ In underwater applications, especially accurate tooling is required, involving preparation of the substrate &, often, the use of a primer.

❑ Underwater joints must be checked in regular time intervals & reworked as necessary.

❑ Not suitable for use with plastics and has generally poor adhesion to silicones.

WORKS WITH MARBLE & NATURAL STONE WHILE PRESERVING ITS BEAUTY

YIELD

One 10.5 ounce tube (310 ml) of Prime Marble sealant is sufficient for completing about 39.4 feet (12 meters) of joints measuring .2 inches x .2 inches (5 mm x 5 mm) or about 10 feet (3 meters) of joints measuring .4 inches x .4 inches (10 mm x 10 mm).

COLORS & PACKAGING

Prime Marble sealant comes in two standard colors, transparent and white, but is available in other colors on a special order basis. Prime Marble is available in 10.5 ounce (310 ml) cartridges, packed in cases of 20 tubes and is available in other sizes of packaging on a special order basis.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

SUBSTRATE PRETREATMENT: The substrate must be dry, firm, and free of dust and grease (clean with isopropanol, if necessary). Porous substrates (e.g. concrete, plasterboard and untreated wood) must be primed. Before primer application, remove any cement slurry, mold release agents or impregnations. In renovation projects, old sealant, remains of paint and loose material must be fully removed. On coated substrates (paints, lacquers), compatibility to the sealant must be tested.

The joint must always be provided with a suitable, correctly dimensioned joint backing (e.g. PE cord, rock wool) to prevent adhesion on three faces. To avoid contamination and to achieve a precise joint, we recommend masking the joint edges with adhesive tape before primer application and filling—especially when working with marble and natural stone.

JOINT DIMENSIONS: Joint dimensions should be at least .2 inches x .2 inches (5 mm x 5 mm) for indoor and .4 inches x 3.2 inches (10 mm x 8 mm) [width x depth] for outdoor applications. With increasing joint width (up to 1.2 inches [30 mm]), joint depth should be roughly half the joint width. Make sure that triangular bevels have uniform sides of equal length with at least .3 inches (7 mm) bonding surface on each side.

TOOLING: After applying Prime Marble with a suitable manual, battery-powered or pneumatic caulking gun, the sealant can be smoothed in the joint with water or with a neutral, non-staining water-based smoothing agent and a suitable tool (e.g. jointing trowel). Smoothing is not only recommended for optical reasons, but also because it establishes close contact and good adhesion to the substrate. Remove excess smoothing agent. Any adhesive tape used should be removed immediately after smoothing.

Prime Marble is compatible with many paints and lacquers. Owing to the large number of different coating systems on the market, however, we recommend that you conduct your own tests concerning adhesion and compatibility prior to application. For example, it is known that alkyd resin-based paints may cause discoloration in combination with neutral-curing silicones. Prime Marble must not be painted over.

Especially on powder-coated substrates, adhesion has to be tested carefully, since it can be affected negatively depending on the coating used. The degree of adhesion may even vary for different colors of the same brand of powder coating.

When sealant comes into contact with bituminous-, tar- or plasticizer-releasing substrates (such as EPDM, neoprene and butyl), discoloration and/or loss of adhesion may occur. Good ventilation must be provided during application and curing to allow curing by evaporation. Low temperatures and humidities and joint depths above 15 mm can retard skin formation and curing significantly.

Exposure to liquids or gaseous chemicals (e.g. tobacco smoke) for longer periods can result in discoloration of Prime Marble, especially for light colors such as white. In general, the mechanical properties of Prime Marble are not adversely affected. Products with fungicide provide additional protection to the joint against mold. However, to avoid growth of mold on the joint, good housekeeping is essential. The joint must be kept clean, dry and free from substances that may serve as a nutrition medium, such as food residue, soap residues and skin scales.

Rate of curing depends on temperature, humidity and substrate absorbency. The data given refer to tests at standard conditions (73° F [23° C] / 50 percent relative humidity). Under these conditions, a 3⁄8 inch x 3⁄8 inch (10 mm x 10 mm) joint will cure in approximately 14 days (with at least one substrate being absorbent). Low temperature, high humidity and joint depth above 9⁄16 inches (15 mm) will retard skin formation and curing significantly.

Data given were determined shortly after production, and may slightly vary with increasing age of product and for different colors. They are not meant for specification purposes.
