DOWSIL 983 Structural Glazing Sealant is a two-part, neutral-cure RTV silicone engineered for dual-purpose use as both a structural adhesive and weatherseal in curtain wall and factory glazing applications. Once cured, it forms a durable, watertight bond capable of ±25% movement, ensuring exceptional performance in high-demand architectural environments.
This high-strength sealant adheres strongly to glass, alodine, anodized aluminum, and other façade materials without primer, though DOWSIL Primer-C OS is recommended for superior and consistent adhesion on specialty coatings such as Kynar® and fluoropolymer finishes. It delivers excellent UV resistance, weatherability, and flexibility, maintaining integrity under repeated expansion and compression.
With low VOC content (<18 g/L) and compliance with ASTM C1184 and ASTM C719 Class 25, DOWSIL 983 offers an environmentally responsible and high-performance option for structural glazing projects. Its noncorrosive, high-modulus formulation allows it to handle the structural and environmental stresses of modern building envelopes, providing long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.
This sealant is compatible with reflective, laminated, and insulating glass and is suitable for use in deep, narrow joints that demand full curing. Designed for use with professional two-part dispensing systems, DOWSIL 983 ensures precision, consistency, and strong mechanical adhesion—making it ideal for curtain walls, unitized glazing, and weatherseal systems requiring structural integrity and long-term reliability.
