The increasing popularity of glass panels for balcony balustrades in modern building designs brings individuality and elegance, allowing natural and artificial light to flow freely and unobstructed views from both the inside and outside the property.

Installation of glass balustrade systems without frames is now even easier and quicker following the introduction of a new pourable, self-levelling, two-component polyurethane from Dow. DOWSIL™ 375 Construction & Glass Embedding has been specifically developed to securely mount and support flat and curved monolithic or laminated glass panels in the U-shaped profiles used in these system designs and in other interior and exterior embedding applications. It is easy to mix and install on-site and has a very high cure speed at room temperature to provide safety and rigidity.

Dow recommends the application of fully compatible DOWSIL™ 791 Weatherproofing Sealant over the top surface of the polyurethane once cured, to offer protection from water ingress and UV exposure.

• ASTM: American Society for Testing and Materials
• ISO: International Standardization Organization

These are typical properties, not to be construed as specifications.

Approvals 

Balustrade assemblies made with DOWSIL™ 375 Construction & Glass Embedding have passed pendulum tests according to DIN 18008-4 at an independent test institute.

Available packaging 

DOWSIL™ 375 Construction & Glass Embedding is a two-component system.

• Part A polyol 16kg
