Renowned Dow Corning Sealants For Final Phase Of 11 Alice Lane

Three renowned Dow Corning sealants supplied by a.b.e. Construction Chemicals were used for the curtain wall construction of the third and final phase of the imposing new 11 Alice Lane precinct in Sandton. a.b.e., which is part of the Chryso Southern Africa Group, is the South African distributor of Dow Corning, which has it European headquarters in Belgium. The company is a global leader in silicones, and silicon-based technology, with a product range in excess of 7 000. The panels for the flush-glazed unitised curtain wall system were mechanically fixed to the structure with Dow Corning DC 993 and - just 24 hours later – the gaps between the glazed units sealed with Dow Corning 813C to provide a weatherproof seal. A third Dow Corning product, DC 895 structural glazing sealant was used on-site, when required, for replacement of damaged glass.
