- Methodology
Surfaces:
- Type: all usual building surfaces
- State of surface: clean, dry, free of dust and grease
- Preparation: Prime porous surfaces with Primer 150, no primer required for non-porous surfaces. The use of Soudal Surface Activator on smooth surfaces will improve the adhesion of Soudasil RTV2.
We recommend a preliminary compatibility test, especially on PVD and powder coated materials.

Safety & Health
- Health and Safety Recommendation
DIRECT CONTACT OF UNCURED SEALANT IRRITATES EYES AND MAY IRRITATE SKIN. OVEREXPOSURE TO VAPOR MAY IRRITATE EYES, NOSE AND THROAT. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Avoid skin and eye contact. On Contact, uncured sealant could cause irritation to skin and eyes. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with warm water for 15 minutes, call a physician. For skin contact, remove sealant with a paper towel. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, call a physician. Soudasil RTV2 is manufactured for professional use only.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
10.1 fl. oz. cartridges
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
12 months in unopened packaging in a cool and dry storage place at temperatures between +41° F and +77° F. Storage in excessive heat and/or high humidity conditions may reduce shelf life up to 30.
Remarks
- Not recommended for use on PC and PMMA because it can cause crazing (stress cracking) in these materials.
- Due to acidic character some metals (copper, lead) can be attacked.
- Contact between this sealant and the primary sealants of double glazed insulation windows or the PVB film of security glass should be avoided.
- Do not use as structural glazing adhesive.
- Contact with plasticizer containing plastics (e.g. flexible PVC, butyl rubber, EPDM,…) can lead to incompatibilities, such as discoloration or loss of adhesion. We recommend a preliminary compatibility test.
