New technology from Dow
Corning and Geocel proved
to be a massive success
at 2014 Fit Show with the
introduction of the cleverly
designed, high performing
Dow Corning 776 InstantFix
WB.
On their stand, Dow Corning
and Geocel demonstrated
how the one-part silicone
adhesive can bond glass
into frames, whether they are
sashes, casements or fixed
units and irrelevant of material
type, instantly by comparing
776 InstantFix to rival silicone
glazing sealants.
Marie Elliott, business
development manager for
Dow Corning explained
“Traditionally, window
fabricators use silicon based
glazing sealant s of different
characteristics, which can be
messy and needs packers to
hold securely whilst the glass
sets. 776 InstantFix provides
an instant tack directly after
application”
“We held demonstrations
to show how two strips of
the same material bonded
instantly when applying
a small amount of 776
InstantFix, compared to
standard glazing silicone
which when weighted
instantly slid apart. Each time
776 InstantFix held the two
strips firmly together” Marie
advised.

776 InstantFix was
designed to offer instant tack
between glass and frame, in
order to allow the frame unit
to be moved immediately
after the glass is placed in
position, therefore reducing
production time when
manufacturing a window or
door.
776 Instantfix WB offers a
greater thermal performance
and lowers air filtration
versus standard silicones
and is suitable for both
manual and automated
processes. It also increases
the strength and rigidity

of the frame thus enabling
more design flexibility and
permitting a significant
reduction in the height and
weight of the profile for
lighter windows and doors.
Dow Corning and Geocel
offer complete on-site
training on set up.
Dow Corning 776 InstantFix
is available in 600ml
