Why use a special mirror silicone?
Ordinary sealants can attack the silvering on the back of a mirror. Glass-Mate is a low modulus, neutral cure silicone formulated to protect the backing while bonding securely.
What does low modulus mean here?
It means the cured silicone stays flexible and puts less stress on the mirror backing, which helps protect the silvering over time.
What will it stick to?
Glass, tiles and most common building substrates, provided they are clean, dry and grease-free.
Do I need to support the mirror while it cures?
Yes, give the mirror temporary support such as tape until the silicone has cured.
How is it different from Mirror Pro?
Glass-Mate is a low modulus neutral-cure silicone aimed at protecting mirror silvering. Mirror Pro is a hybrid adhesive and sealant that also bonds metals, PVCu and ceramics and resists heat and humidity. Choose Mirror Pro for mixed substrates or demanding conditions.
Single or box of 12?
Buy a single EU3 cartridge for one mirror, or the trade box of 12 for regular fitting.
