ST 3521 Silicone Weather-Proofing Sealant is a one-component neutral curing silicone sealant with excellent adhesion, weatherability and elasticity for weathersealing in curtainwall and building facades. It easily extrudes in any weather and quickly cures at room temperature by reaction with moisture in the air to form a durable, flexible silicone rubber seal.
Features
Extension/compression movement capability of up to ±35% of the original joint width
Suits applications in the areas with large difference in temperature and low humidity
Odorless, non-corrosive cure system
Excellent weatherability and high resistance to ultraviolet radiation, heat and humidity, ozone and temperature extremes
Remains flexible over a temperature range of -58°F(-50°C) to 302°F (150°C)
Excellent unprimed adhesion to wide range of substrates including coated, enameled and reflective glasses, anodized and polyester coated or painted aluminum profiles
Good compatibility with other neutral silicone sealants

Limitations
BAIYUN ST 3521 Silicone Weather-Proofing Sealant should not be used, applied or is not recommended:
In structural glazing applications or where the sealant is intended as an adhesive.
In areas where abrasion and physical abuse are encountered.
In totally confined spaces as the sealant requires atmospheric moisture for cure.
On frost-laden or damp surfaces
To building materials that bleed oils, plasticizers or solvents – materials such as impregnated wood, oil-based caulks, green or partially vulcanized rubber gaskets or tapes.
In below-grade applications
On substrates made of polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate and polytetrafluoroethylene.
Where movement capability greater than ±35% is required.
Where painting of the sealant is required, as the paint film may crack and peel
For structural adhesion on bare metals or surfaces subject to corrosion (i.e., mill aluminum, bare steel, etc.)
To surfaces in contact with food
For use underwater or in other applications where the product will be in continuous contact with water
