UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant is a next generation solution designed to enable the most ambitious structural glazing façades. With 0.2 MPa tensile design strength, high flexibility, and rapid strength build-up, it's here to help you push the boundaries of building design.
An advanced, proven formula that enables designs with reduced metal frame support system dimensions, UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant offers peerless performance. It enables you to design and build to new heights, securing sweeping, uninterrupted views whilst saving on cost.
UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant can withstand driving rains and hurricane-force winds—as well as pressure, impact, and the test of time. A two-part, 100% silicone-based solution, it is CMR-label-free and non-flammable to help ensure storage and handling safety.
UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant meets or surpasses the stringent design criteria specified in the ETAG-002 design guidelines for facades, thus becoming one of the most advanced glazing sealants on the market. It’s unique combination of high strength and flexibility ensures best-in-class performance even under the extremes of weather phenomena.
UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant securely bonds without a primer to many substrates and finishes, including glass, polycarbonate, coated and anodized aluminum, coated and stainless steel and ceramic frits.
Designed to achieve a rapid tensile-strength build-up, façade elements assembled using UltraGlaze SSG4650 sealant are ready for transport within a short time post- fabrication, which increases overall production line efficiency and frees-up valuable factory floor space.
It is backed by world-class technical support and our project-specific warranty program.

Critical considerations include: joint design and dimensioning, surface preparation and cleanliness, compatibility of all façade materials, environmental conditions during installation, adherence to system testing and specification protocols. Structural silicone glazing systems require engineered design approval prior to installation.
Service life is dependent on system design, environmental exposure, and correct installation. When properly specified and installed, structural silicone glazing systems are designed for long-term performance in exterior façade applications subject to ongoing engineering review.
Structural silicone glazing systems are designed to accommodate differential movement caused by thermal expansion, wind loading, and structural deflection. The silicone joint provides elastic movement capability while maintaining adhesion and structural integrity within defined design limits.
Compatibility depends on system design and testing, but UltraGlaze SSG systems are commonly used with coated metals, anodised aluminium, glass, and other approved framing materials as part of engineered façade assemblies.
Structural silicone glazing systems are typically validated through a combination of adhesion testing, compatibility assessment, and structural performance evaluation carried out under project-specific conditions. Testing requirements are defined by façade engineers and system designers based on the performance criteria of the overall curtain wall or glazing system.
Key performance considerations for structural silicone glazing systems include adhesion to glass and framing materials, movement capability under thermal and wind loading, long-term durability under UV and weather exposure, compatibility with all façade system components, and compliance with project-specific structural design requirements. Final specification is determined through system-level engineering assessment and testing.
UltraGlaze SSG systems are typically specified in curtain walling, window wall systems, and glass façades where a clean external appearance and continuous glazing aesthetic are required, alongside structural performance requirements defined by the façade design engineer.
A structural silicone glazing system works by using a high-performance silicone sealant to adhere glass units directly to a supporting frame. The sealant is designed to carry wind loads, accommodate movement, and maintain long-term adhesion and flexibility within façade systems when correctly designed and installed.
The UltraGlaze structural silicone glazing system is used to bond glass to metal framing systems in curtain wall and façade construction. It enables structural load transfer between glass and frame using a silicone-based adhesive sealant in place of mechanical retention systems, depending on system design.
