8-Chemie OTTOCOLL® S 16 Mirror adhesive

OTTOCOLL® S 16 -The mirror adhesive.‎ Characteristics: Neutral-curing • 1-component silicone adhesive based on alkoxy • Adheres on all commercial mirror coatings without any primers • Does not damage the mirror coating.‎ Fields of application: • Elastic bonding of mirrors on ceramic, glass, plastic, stainless steel, aluminium, wood, concrete etc.‎ • Also suitable as adhesive for acrylic glass mirrors (e.‎ g.‎ Plexiglas®) • Bonding of lacquered and enamelled glass.‎ Standards and tests: • Conform to LEED® IEQ-credits 4.‎1 (Indoor Environmental Quality) adhesives and sealants • Testet on coated glass (2-comp.‎ PU Direct Decklack 7-530 made by Selemix System) made by Glas Nagel – status 11/2006 • Tested on Lacobel (varnished glass) – status 10/2010 (The test results are available on request at our technical department) • The instruction provided with regards to our adhesion and compatibility tests reflects the status at the time of testing.‎ Changes to the coatings are possible but outside our sphere of influence.‎ With regards to these we advise to contact the producers of glass/coatings concerned.‎ Additional useful information For elastic bonding of mirrors on ceramics, glass, plastic, stainless steel, aluminium, wood, concrete, plaster, masonry, gypsum board, aerated concrete or untreated wood.‎ Commercially available mirror coatings do not need to be primed.‎ OTTO Primer 1105 must be applied thickly on mineral surfaces.‎ Airing-out takes at least 30 minutes.‎ Coated chipboard must be pretreated with OTTO Primer 1216.‎ When bonding onto substrates not mentioned here, please consult our Applications Technology department.‎ Never apply S 16 in dots or over the whole surface but always in vertical stripes (beads).‎ At least three adhesive stripes of approx.‎ 10 mm width each have to be applied per square metre of mirror in order to facilitate the air circulation required for vulcanisation.‎ The minimum distance between mirror and substrate must stringently be 1.‎6 mm, which can be realised by sticking on spacers.‎ Preliminary fixation until curing (at least 48 hours) can be carried out with adhesive strips, blocks of wood or wedges.‎ For sealing the outside edges of the mirror in combination with natural stones we advise S 70, in combination with other materials like ceramics, metal, glass etc.‎ we advise S 120, S 121 and S 125.‎ Please note that sealing of the outside edges of the mirror must not take place before complete curing S 16 and the decomposition products have completely escaped.‎ This takes about 7 days.‎ Mirrors without glass backs should only be sealed at the vertical edges to avoid damages to the mirror coating due to the formation of condensed water.‎
