Applications:

DOWSIL™ Spacer Tapes for Structural Glazing is a type of tape designed specifically for outdoor mounting and joining applications, including as a spacer tape for structural glazing. The tape is specially formulated to provide excellent bonding strength and high holding power on low surface energy (LSE) materials, such as PVDF-coated panels, without the need for a primer in most cases.

Structural glazing refers to a method of glass installation where the glass is bonded to the structure of a building using a silicone adhesive. Spacer tapes are used to maintain a uniform gap between the glass and the structure, which helps to ensure that the adhesive is evenly distributed and the glass is properly supported.

DOWSIL™ Spacer Tapes for Structural Glazing is designed to provide a reliable and durable solution for this type of application. The tapes are easy to apply and provide a secure bond that can withstand the rigours of outdoor use.

Tests and Typical Physical Properties

DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing is designed to meet or exceed several ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for adhesive performance, including:

• ASTM D-3330 (90°Peel): This test measures the force required to peel the tape away from a substrate at a 90-degree angle. DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing is tested to meet the requirements of this standard, ensuring that it provides a strong and reliable bond.
• ASTM D-1002: This test measures the shear strength of an adhesive joint. DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing is designed to meet the requirements of this standard, ensuring that it provides a high level of holding power.
• ASTM D-897: This test measures the bond strength of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing is designed to meet the requirements of this standard, ensuring that it provides a strong and durable bond.
• ASTM D-3654: This test measures the adhesion of pressure-sensitive tape to a substrate. DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing is designed to meet the requirements of this standard, ensuring that it provides reliable adhesion.
• By meeting these ASTM standards, DOWSIL™ Spacer Tape for Structural Glazing provides assurance to architects, engineers, and builders that it has been rigorously tested and will perform reliably in a variety of structural glazing applications.
