Do not use DOWSIL™ 785 Sanitary Acetoxy Silicone on bituminous substrates, substrates based on natural rubber, chloroprene, EPDM or building materials and flexible plastics that may bleed oils, plasticizers or solvents. Do not use DOWSIL™ 785 Sanitary Acetoxy Silicone in a completely confined space as the sealant requires moisture from the atmosphere to cure. Because acetic acid is released during hardening, it can corrode mirror silver to sensitive metals such as copper, brass, and lead. DOWSIL™ 785 Sanitary Acetoxy Silicone is not suitable for food contact areas.
DOWSIL™ 785 Sanitary Acetoxy Silicone is not intended to be used as an aquarium sealant.
DOWSIL™ 785 Sanitary Acetoxy Silicone is not recommended for structural or glazing applications
applications in insulating glass.
This product is not tested or claimed to be suitable for medical or pharmaceutical use.

How to use
Substrate preparation
Make sure that the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and degreased. Clean non-porous surfaces with DOWSIL™ R-40 Universal Cleaner or methylated spirits and dry thoroughly before applying sealant or wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Areas adjacent to joints must be masked with tape to prevent contamination of substrates and to ensure a neat sealing line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after processing.
No primer is required on most glazed surfaces, including vitreous enamel, ceramics, porcelain, glaze, etc. In the case of acrylic bathtubs, an adhesion test is recommended. Adhesion to plastic and metal surfaces can be improved by using a Dow primer.
Method of application
Apply a layer of sealer. The minimum joint width should be 6 mm. For joints 6-12 mm wide, the sealing depth should be 6 mm.
The joint should be machined within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. The sealant treatment also gives a smooth professional finish.
Curing time
Once the skin is formed, curing continues inward 3mm from the surface for 24 hours.
