FAQs of BOSS 383 Weather Seal Silicone Sealant:
Q: How do I apply BOSS 383 Weather Seal Silicone Sealant for joint sealing?
A: BOSS 383 should be applied using a standard caulking gun. Cut the nozzle at an angle, extrude the sealant onto the clean joint surface, and smooth using a spatula or finger. Ensure surfaces are free of dust, grease, or old sealant for optimal adhesion.
Q: What types of surfaces can BOSS 383 be used on?
A: This sealant bonds effectively to most common construction materials such as glass, aluminum, painted surfaces, concrete, masonry, and composite panels, making it versatile for various building applications.
Q: When does BOSS 383 become tack-free during the curing process?
A: After application, BOSS 383 typically becomes tack-free in approximately 15 minutes, allowing for quick handling and minimal downtime during construction projects.
Q: Where is BOSS 383 most beneficial in construction projects?
A: BOSS 383 is ideal for use in joint sealing, weatherproofing, and expansion joints, especially in areas exposed to external weather conditions requiring flexible, durable sealing solutions.
Q: What are the benefits of using a neutral cure silicone like BOSS 383?
A: Neutral cure silicones emit low odor and do not corrode metal surfaces, offering superior UV resistance and elastic recovery. BOSS 383 provides excellent durability and movement capability, which maintains a secure seal despite structural shifts.
Q: What sizes and colors is BOSS 383 available in?
A: It comes in 280 ml cartridges and 600 ml sausages, with color options including clear, white, black, and grey, allowing for seamless matching to most building designs and joint configurations.
