Product catalog summary
Description: FA190 is a one-part, neutral curing, low modulus silicone sealant designed for weather sealing and bonding in construction. It adheres well to porous substrates like wood, aluminum, and PVC-U.
Colours and Packaging: Available in translucent color, packaged in 310 ml cartridges (20 per case).
Environmental Considerations: Provides an airtight seal conforming to the Building Regulations for England and Wales.
Technical Information:
  • Composition: Neutral silicone
  • Specific Gravity: ~1.01
  • Consistency: Non-sag
  • Shore A Hardness: ~20
  • Skin Formation Time: ~6-8 minutes
  • Cure Rate: ~2 mm/1st day
  • Tensile Strength: ~0.5 MPa
  • Elongation at Break: ~230%
  • Movement Capability: ~25%
  • Application Temperature: +5°C to +40°C
  • Storage: +5°C to +25°C
  • Shelf Life: 12 months
Application: Suitable for expansion & curtain wall joints, perimeter joints, panel joints, and general joint sealing. Requires a cartridge gun and sharp knife for application.
Key Benefits:
  • Meets EN ISO 11600 G&F 25LM
  • Movement capability up to 25%
  • Resistant to weathering, ageing, and UV
  • Low modulus for minimal strain
  • Neutral cure with low odor
Joint Design Considerations:
  • Follow BS 6093 for joint design
  • Minimum joint width: 5 mm
  • Maximum joint width: 30 mm
  • Width to depth ratio: 2:1
  • Use PE backing rod in movement joints
Preparation: Ensure joint faces are clean and free from contaminants. Use a suitable cleaning solvent and apply masking tape to protect adjacent surfaces.
Application Procedure: Test application for compatibility, apply between +5°C and +40°C, and tool beads immediately after application.
Coverage: Coverage varies with joint dimensions, e.g., 6x6 mm provides 8.6 linear meters per cartridge.
Cleaning: Use AT200 High Strength Cleaner for excess sealant. Cured sealant requires mechanical removal.
Limitations: Not for permanent immersion, food contact, or overpainting. Test on sensitive substrates.
Health & Safety: Read the safety data sheet before use.

Joint Design Considerations • Joint design to be in accordance with BS 6093. • Minimum joint width should normally not be less than 5 mm. • Typical maximum joint width of 30 mm, however for all large joints (greater than 30 mm), please contact Tremco CPG to discuss project specifics. • Width to depth ratio should typically be 2:1. • Minimum width to depth ratio should typically be 1:1. Please note MAF is reduced at smaller width to depth ratios. • The minimum contact area with any substrate (including for fillet joints) should be determined by the quality of the bond. If in doubt please contact...
