1. GE SILICONE SEALANTS
As one of the early pioneers of silicone sealants in the 1950s, GE Silicones continues to lead the industry with an unwavering commitment to research, innovation, quality, and service. In 2006, Momentive Performance Materials (Momentive)purchased GE Advanced Materials, becoming the exclusive global licensee of GE branded silicone sealants and coatings.
Today, Momentive carries on that legacy of leadership and excellence, offering a complete line of building envelope silicone solutions for roof coating, air and water barriers, architectural coatings, weathersealing, structural glazing, insulating glass, glazing, and specialty applications. With decades of experience in new construction and restoration, our team works to protect your project, so you can build sure.
2. SAINT GOBAIN STRUCTURAL GLAZING TAPE
Thermalbond® Structural Glazing Spacer Tape has been the industry standard for more than 30 years. The successful bonding of glass and other exterior wall panels to the framing system of a building depends on creating the proper size joint for the adhesive and the complete compatibility of components.
As designs become more exciting and architects reach farther, proven performance and durability are a must. Thermalbond® offers today’s buildings the world-class performance needed for the future.
Thermalbond® is the world’s most recognized brand of structural glazing spacer. Thermalbond glazing spacers are designed for use in structural silicone glazing systems where there is direct contact with the silicone adhesive, temporarily fastening the glass to the frame while allowing movement.
3. STI FIRESTOP
STI is the global leader in developing perimeter fire barrier systems for sealing the void area between a fire-rated floor and non-rated exterior wall.
Perimeter fire barrier systems are tested according to ASTM E2307, “Standard Test Method for Determining Fire Resistance of Perimeter Fire Barriers Using Intermediate-Scale, Multi-Story Test Apparatus (ISMA)”. Perimeter fire barriers consist of the assemblage of materials installed into the void area between a fire-rated floor and non-fire-rated exterior wall or curtain wall.
Building codes, such as the IBC, require such systems to be tested according to ASTM E2307.
The ISMA structure is a two-story furnace that subjects a perimeter fire barrier system to fire exposure from two sides simultaneously. It is intended to simulate a building fire where a fire induced window break occurs and the flame plume escapes to impinge directly on the exterior of the curtain wall.
4. NOMACO SOF ROD
SOF® Rod is a soft bi-cellular polyethylene foam backer rod used in concrete construction. It is comprised of both open and closed cells that will not out-gas whenskin is ruptured and prevents
sealant bubbling and failure.
SOF Rod has an outer skin and resilient interior network of cells and helps cold-applied sealants assume the optimum hour glass shape to prolong the sealant service life. It is commonly used in applications such as expansion and contraction joints, window glazing, curtain wall construction
partitions, parking decks, bridge construction, modular home gasketing and log home chinking.
SOF Rod is comprised of an inert material, and therefore, it is physically and chemically
compatible with virtually all known cold-applied sealants including self-leveling types.
