An advanced high performance silicone film adhesive is ready to be exploited for challenging glazing applications. This silicone adhesive differs in many aspects from conventional silicones as it provides transparency and superior mechanical characteristics. Furthermore, the transparent silicone material shows the tendency of loosing transparency in highly loaded operating conditions (“stress whitening”). Due to these specific characteristics, comparisons of the mechanical performance of the film adhesive with commercially available structural sealants for glass façades are of major interest. The paper compares the performance of conventional, gun-grade silicone sealants with that of the novel silicone film adhesive for bonding point supports on glass by evaluating various load schemes and bond thicknesses.
