Why no information on the melting point of silicone sealant?
Does not melt? It seems that it should. If so, What is the melting point of F? I want the possibility of using it to seal a tank heater, but do not want to melt when the heater gets too hot. The heater is 50 watts.
Silicone after it has dried is actually melts remain relatively stable until the temperature at which light up. The silicone sealant is both a very good, besides being a great adhesive for its permanent elasticity and works very well when there is movement due to expansion and contraction or vibration. The heat generated buy your heater is not far, it is hot enough to cause problems with silicone. Think of it silicone used to seal around windows doors on a hot summer day these surfaces reach temperatures over 150 degrees just put his hand on the hood of his car on a sunny 95 degrees day. If the aquarium is not being heated hot water are poaching the fish for dinner. A tip for the use of silicone is that the area that applies must be very clean and you have to let it dry completely before getting wet usually 24 hours, but there are versions that are fast drying.
