Dow DOWSIL TSSA Transparent Silicone Structural Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What substrates is DOWSIL TSSA adhesive compatible with?

A: DOWSIL TSSA bonds well to a broad range of common architectural substrates including anodized aluminum, stainless steel, coated metals, glass (including low-iron and laminated), and many rigid plastics—without requiring primers in most standard applications.


Q2: Is DOWSIL TSSA suitable for structural glazing applications?

A: Yes—DOWSIL TSSA is specifically formulated as a transparent silicone structural sealant meeting key performance requirements for structural glazing, including high tensile strength, excellent elongation, and long-term durability under UV exposure and thermal cycling.


Q3: How does DOWSIL TSSA perform in weathering and UV resistance tests?

A: As a neutral-cure, addition-cure silicone, DOWSIL TSSA exhibits exceptional resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature fluctuations—maintaining transparency, adhesion, and elasticity over extended service life without chalking or yellowing.


Q4: Can DOWSIL TSSA be painted or overcoated after curing?

A: DOWSIL TSSA is not recommended for painting or overcoating, as most conventional coatings do not adhere reliably to cured silicone surfaces. For aesthetic integration, it is best used in its natural transparent state or selected in coordination with compatible architectural finishes.
