ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 is a black polyisobutylene based sealant that exhibits excellent long-term stability and remains permanently flexible, even at low temperatures. Like all ADCOTHERM™ PIB sealants, ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 exhibits low argon permeability and inherently low moisture vapor transmission along with excellent adhesion to aluminum, stainless steel and tin-plated steel spacer substrates.

ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 is supplied in pre-extruded strands for manual assembly of insulating glass units. ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 may also be used to patch corners, extrusion skips, or for general repair of primary sealant application. PIB 11 may be used as a spot repair in combination with all other ADCOTHERM™ black PIB products on a single insulating glass unit.
ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 has very low moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) and gas permeability rates. Properly constructed dual-seal units incorporating ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 will retain argon insulating gas and maintain a dry interior unit airspace for decades. Insulating glass units produced with ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 routinely pass ASTM E2188, E2189, E2190 (HIGS) standards.
ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 may be used with most commercially available urethane, silicone, polysulfide, or butyl hot melt insulating glass secondary sealants.
Performance Standards
Insulating glass units incorporating ADCOTHERMTM PIB 11 routinely meet the following specifications:
• ASTM E 774
• ASTM E 2188, E2189, E2190 (HIGS)
• CGSB 12.8
• EN 1279 (Part 1-3)

Limitations
- ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 is not intended for use as a structural sealant.
- ADCOTHERM™ PIB 11 is not resistant to attack by solvents, oils, and plasticizers. When constructing IG with silicone secondary sealants, care must be taken to insure that the glazing environment (including setting blocks, compression gaskets, glazing sealants, and weatherproofing sealants) is free from solvents, oils and plasticizers. These chemicals can migrate through silicone secondary sealants and attack the primary sealant resulting in premature IG unit failure.
-
The surfaces to be bonded must be dry, clean and free from dust and grease. Glass surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned by hand or machine with non-film forming, low residue detergent and rinsed thoroughly with clean hot water.
Glazing Compatibility
It is recommended that glazing materials be tested for compatibility and that all units be glazed in accordance with GANA (Glass Association of North America) and IGMA
(Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance) recommendations. Contact with any solvent, oil, or plasticizer-containing glazing materials should be avoided.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store material in original unopened packaging at temperatures between 40°F-100°F. Shelf life is 24 months when stored as recommended.
