SPECTREM® 1

Single-Component, Moisture-Cure
Silicone Sealant

__________________________________________________________________________________________
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Spectrem® 1 is a high-performance, single-component, moisture-cure, ultra-low modulus silicone sealant.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
BASIC USES
Spectrem 1 is the ideal sealant for the most demanding dynamically moving joints. This includes material having a high coefficient of
linear expansion such as aluminum curtainwalls, precast concrete panels, metal panels, and window perimeters.

When detailing over the ExoAir® Air Barrier system, Spectrem 1 is the recommended sealant to ensure an airtight seal throughout the
building envelope. Spectrem 1 has excellent adhesion to most polyethylene-backed, self-adhering air barrier membranes. The
performance of Spectrem 1 is exceptional when used on the polyethylene face of ExoAir 110, Exoair 110AT, ExoAir TWF and the cured
surface of Exoair 130, and ExoAir 230.

Spectrem 1 is also recommended for use with Tremco's Silicone Rubber extrusions, Spectrem Simple Seal and Tremco's patented
solution, Proglaze® ETA (Engineered Transition Assembly), for sealing between challenging conditions such as the opaque wall air
barrier and window/curtain wall assemblies.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
Spectrem 1 is a perfect choice for sealing difficult-to-adhere-to substrates. Spectrem 1 has excellent adhesion to a variety of
substrates, allowing for one product that can be used for multiple applications on the same job, from perimeter caulking to expansion
joints. The ultra-low modulus of Spectrem 1 means high elasticity with movement accomodation of +100/-50%.

There is no mixing required with Spectrem 1, so product is always ready to use for immediate application with conventional caulking
equipment. Spectrem 1 provides resistance to driving rain, ozone, ultra-violet light and temperature extremes, plus safeguards against
water penetration with exceptional weatherability in all climate zones. Additionally, Spectrem 1 is offered in a wide variety of colors,
with custom colors and color matching also available for special projects.

Spectrem 1 meets or exceeds the requirements of the following specifications:


 ASTM C920 Type S, Grade NS, Class 100/50, Use NT, M, G, A, and O
 ASTM C1248
 ASTM C1382

 CAN/CGSB 19.13-M87, MCG-2-40-B-N
 EIMA Test Method 300.01
 Spectrem 1 has been tested as a component of several wall assemblies meeting
ASTM E2357, the Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage of Air Barrier
Assemblies, and NFPA 285, the Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire
Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non- Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies
Containing Combustible Components

The Greenguard Gold certification on Spectrem 1 ensures safety for use in the most sensitive indoor environments including
hospitals and schools. Spectrem 1 is accepted/compatible for use over Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF).
