TYPICAL PROPERTIES FOR DOWSIL 781
These values are not intended for use in preparing specifications. Please contact your local Dow Corning sales office or your Global Dowsil Connection before writing specifications on this product
HOW TO USE
SURFACE PREPARATION
Ensure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and free from frost, release agents, old sealants and other contaminants which could impair adhesion. All surfaces should be cleaned by wiping with a suitable solvent such as DOWSIL R40 Universal Cleaner on a clean oil- and lint-free cloth before application of sealant.
Note: When using any solvent, always provide adequate ventilation. Avoid heat, sparks and open flames. Use solvent resistant gloves. Observe and follow all precautions listed on solvent container label.
MASKING
Areas adjacent to the joints should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of the substrates and to ensure a neat sealant line. Masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling.
PRIMING
All joint surfaces other than glass and glazed ceramics should be primed. Furthermore, for specific advice, please refer to the DOWSIL ® Primers’ Guide or contact one of Dowsil’s Regional Service Centre for technical assistance.

Dowsil 786 Food Safe Silicone Sealant
£6.00APPLICATIONS
DOWSIL 786 is one part, flexible; fast curing silicone rubber sealant specifically designed for the sealing of refrigeration units and areas where contact with food is likely. Therefore making it ideal for food
HOW TO USE
Surface Preparation
Ensure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and grease-free. Clean with DOWSIL R40 Universal Cleaner or methylated spirits depending on the substrates to be sealed, and dry thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth before application of sealant.
Note: When using any solvent, always provide adequate ventilation. Avoid heat, sparks and open flames. Observe and follow all precautions listed on the solvent container label. Above all, it is recommended that DOWSIL 786 is not applied to surfaces that are below 5°C.
Masking
Areas adjacent to the joints should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of the substrates and to ensure a neat sealant line. After that, masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling.
Priming
Primer is not required on most common nonporous substrates, including vitreous enamel, ceramics, porcelain, glazed tiles, etc. However, for some metals and plastics, priming is required. For more information, please refer to the technical data sheet attached or contact Dow Corning.
Back-Up Materials
Where back-up material is required closed cell polyethene backer rod is recommended. Low tack polyethene tape should be used in joints too shallow to allow the use of the backer rod.
Finishing
The joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish.
Clean-Up
The excess sealant may be cleaned off tools and non-porous surfaces while in an uncured state using DOWSIL R40 Universal Cleaner. The cured sealant may be removed with the aid of
DOWSIL Silicone Sealant Remover, abrasion or other mechanical means. However, care should be taken not to damage plastic surfaces.LIMITATIONS
DOWSIL 786 Silicone Sealant should not be applied to porous surfaces such as stone or concrete, or to easily corroded metals such as lead or copper. DOWSIL 786 should
not be used against surfaces that bleed oils, plasticisers or solvents. Also, contact Geocel’s Technical Services Department for further advice on specific applications.For more information, head over to the Dowsil website.
