How to Use Mixing and Dispensing Instructions

DOWSIL™ 3362 Insulating Glass Sealant should be mixed in a ratio of 10:1 base to curing
agent by weight, or equivalent 8:1 by volume for optimal properties. At this mix ratio, the
sealant typically exhibits a working time of 5–10 minutes and allows units to be handled
within two hours. Slight variations in mixing ratio can be tolerated, but these should not
exceed 11:1 to 9:1 by weight or 8.8:1 to 7.2:1 by volume to ensure minimum properties are
obtained.

How to Use (Cont.) Mixing and Dispensing Instructions (Cont.)
The sealant is compatible with most DOWSIL™ neutral curing construction sealants. Please
contact our technical services department for more information.

To obtain the ultimate physical properties from DOWSIL™ 3362 Insulating Glass Sealant, it
is recommended that the base and curing agent are thoroughly mixed using an airless
mixing system found on most existing commercially available two-part silicone dispensing
machines.

Catalyst Selection
Different catalysts are available for DOWSIL™ 3362 Insulating Glass Sealant:

 DOWSIL™ 3362 HV Catalyst is a medium viscosity paste, fast cure, which is suitable
for meter mix equipment using a pressure pot or follower plate system for the catalyst.
 DOWSIL™ 3362 HV/GER Insulating Glass Catalyst is a viscous paste fast cure and is
suitable for meter mix equipment that uses a follower plate system for the catalyst.

Equipment Cleaning
When not being used it is recommended that the dispensing equipment be purged either
with the uncatalyzed base, or flushed with a suitable solvent such as DOWSIL™ 3522
Concentrated Cleaning Solvent. If cured sealant has built up inside the equipment, it is
recommended to flush the equipment for the appropriate time with DOWSIL™ 3522
Concentrated Cleaning Solvent. This solvent dissolves cured silicone sealant and provides
optimum cleaning performance.

Technical Dow provides comprehensive technical service as part of customer support to ensure the
Services optimal performance of your insulated glass design. This includes dispensing equipment
recommendations, as well as sealant compatibility testing with all your chosen insulated
glass unit components. For structural glazing applications, special unit design should be
reviewed on a project base by technical service staff.
