It is a versatile compound used frequently in glazing structural back-bedding heel, cap, toe, bead, mullion joinery, PVC sash lineal reinforcement, bay/bow fabrication, secondary seal for dry-glazed sash, mitre and seam sealing.
Benefits and Advantages
- Single-component oxime-cure silicone sealant
- Durable, flexible seal
- Excellent UV resistant
- AAMA verified
- 18 month shelf life from date of manufacture
- Available in 50 standard colors and 32 Kynar paint colors
- Available in 10.3 oz cartridges, 20 oz sausages, 5 gallon bucket, and 55 gallon drum
Novaflex SB Bedding Compound
This is a patented material developed to compliment any type of glazing rabbet profile design. The Novaflex SB Bedding silicone combines oxime-cure silicone technology with consistently sized spacer-beads to provide a “liquid shim”.
The bead assures controlled compound thickness between the glass and sash. This will maxamize sash performance while minimizing sealant comsumption.
Beifits and Advantages
- Single-component oxime-cured silicone sealant
- Durrable, flexible seal
- 18 month shelf life from date of manufacture
- Available bead sizes – 0.030″, 0.040″ and 0.050″
- Available in 10.3 oz cartridges, 5 gallon bucket, and 55 gallon drum
- Minimizes/eliminates the cleaup requirements associated with other bedding technologies
- 2 standard colors (gray and translucent) along with clear fast tack and custom matches available
