Remarks
- Soudal SMX® 506 can be painted with water based paints. However due
to the large number of paints and varnishes available we strongly
suggest a compatibility test before application
- Remove all traces of soap (tooling) because it will harm the adhesion
of the paint onto the sealant
- The use of metal spatula or other hard tooling equipment on Self-
cleaning glass is not recommended in order to prevent the damaging
of the active layer of the glass
- We recommend the use of Soudaseal 215 LM for all perimeter joints
(between wall and window profiles) in applications where Selfcleaning
glass is used
- SMX® 506 should never be used in applications where stagnant water
can occur. We therefore always recommend a minimum pitch of the
substrates of 10°
