SilShield™ 3100 Silicone Elastomeric Coating

Key Features and Typical Benefits

Performance

Silicone Durability
Excellent long-term resistance to ultraviolet radiation, natural weathering, humidity, and high and low temperatures with negligible change in color or elasticity. Silicone Compatibility—Compatible with all GE neutral-cure silicone sealants and pre-cured silicone weatherstrip.

System Warranty
Qualifies for a combined product warranty when used with GE UltraSpan* pre-cured weather-strip and the GE SilPruf* sealants. Breathable—Cured SilShield 3100 coating is vapor permeable.

Application Primerless Adhesion
Adheres to a broad range of porous and non-porous substrates including: glass, concrete, stucco, masonry, urethane foam, wood, copper, EIFS, aluminum and many painted surfaces.

Fast Cure
Can attain skin-over in under 30 minutes and be tack free in less than 2 hours under typical conditions.

Ease of Application
Can be applied brush, roller, or airless spray. Product body helps prevent sagging.

Low Temperature Storage
SilShield 3100 coating can be stored during colder months without risk of freezing.

Potential Applications

SilShield 3100 architectural coating is a mastic coating that can be considered for use as a waterproofing coating in:

• Vertical, horizontal and roof applications to cover holes and minor cracks and to conceal surface irregularities.
• Non-traffic horizontal and roof applications. Note: While primerless adhesion to many substrates is possible, adhesion should always be verified by testing a small area prior to initiating the project. SilShield 3100 coating should not be considered for use on walking surfaces, as such use may contribute to a slipping hazard, particularly when wet. SilShield 3100 coating should also not be considered for use in locations subject to continuous water immersion. It may be difficult to achieve adhesion of non-silicone paints to overcoat SilShield 3100 coating. Additionally, this product should not be considered for:
• Concrete surfaces which contain residue from oil or other bond breaking contaminants that may interfere with adhesion.
• Building materials which might bleed oil or solvents. These include but are not limited to: impregnated wood and certain vulcanized rubber gaskets or foams, tapes or failed sealants and caulking compounds. Compatibility testing is available.
• Unprepared surfaces, including but not limited to those which are wet, dusty, oily, mildewed, heavily chalked, blistered or otherwise structurally unsound.
