Title
Standard Guide for Use of Silicone Sealants for Protective Glazing Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2004
Scope:
This guide covers the use of silicone sealants in protective glazing
systems for building
construction. Protective glazing includes systems designed for use in
applications subject to
natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, windstorms and
forms of forced entry such as
blasts, burglary, and ballistic attack.
While other glazing accessories and components are used in protective
glazing, this document
specifically describes the use of silicone sealants for protective
glazing systems.
This guide provides information useful to design professionals,
architects, manufacturers,
installers, and others for the design and installation of silicone
sealants for protective glazing
systems.
A silicone sealant is only one component of a glazing system. A
glazing system that meets the
testing and code requirement for impact glazing must successfully
integrate the frame and its
anchorage, glass, or other glazing materials, protective film or
interlayer and silicone sealant
into a high performance system. Compliance with code or other
requirements can be determined
through physical testing of the glazing system or through computer
simulation.
Glazing systems using silicone sealants that have successfully met the
test requirements for
missile impact and bomb blast test requirements incorporate the use of
silicone sealants
specifically formulated, tested, and marketed for this application.
Sealants that are commonly used
today comply with Specifications C 920 and C 1184.
This guide does not discuss sealants intended to protect against
radioactivity or provide
biological containment.
The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is not aware of any
comparable standards
published by other organizations.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
requirements prior to use.
