These are the instructions that have been supplied
by Pilkington to glaziers to assist them in correctly
installing this product in your home.
Glazing
Where possible, use a clean dry gasket glazing
system or a system using non-setting oil-free
glazing compounds. The gasket should be of
sufficient quality to minimise the leaching out
of silicones from its surface.
Where dry gasket glazing systems cannot be
applied, materials based on MS polymers should
be used.
Only high quality oil-free sealants that prevent
silicone exudation should be used. When glazing
into frames do not use glazing tapes that contain
oil (e.g. silicone or paraffin wax).
Under no circumstances should linseed oil putty
be used with Pilkington Activ.
Pilkington Activ must be installed with the
coated surface as the external face of the
window, i.e. the Pilkington Activ hologram
is on the inside of the window.
Avoid placing or using stickers, markers and
paint pens on the coated surface " these are
difficult to remove.
As with all glass, care should be taken to ensure
that alkaline leach-out from concrete etc. does
not occur.
The window flashing material needs to be checked
for runoff and potential subsequent staining.
If further building work is taking place, great
care must be taken to avoid staining or damaging
the Pilkington Activ coating, which must be
protected from welding, rusty deposits, cement,
plaster products or adhesives, for example.
Cleaning
Once all work is completed, rinse the glass with
water as soon as possible to remove all traces of
dust, abrasives, etc. Then apply a mild detergent
and water solution through a saturated cloth and
gently rub the wetted surface with a clean, lintfree
towel or cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Rinse with clean water* and wipe nearly dry
with a dry, clean, lint-free towel or cloth.
Any moisture remaining will soon evaporate
to leave a clean surface.
Avoid using a squeegee " if it must be used,
take care to prevent any metal parts from coming
into contact with the coating, or any dirt particles
becoming trapped under the blade.
