1. Analysis of cracking situation

In the alternating seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it often appears in aluminum-plastic panels and aluminum panel curtain wall projects. Because the temperature difference between day and night changes greatly, substrates with large expansion coefficients such as aluminum-plastic panels, aluminum panels or PVC are greatly affected by temperature. As the temperature increases and decreases, the material will expand and contract to varying degrees, and the sealant within the joint will also expand and contract. For fully cured sealant, it can withstand large displacement and deformation, but for incompletely cured sealant, its ability to withstand displacement and deformation is weak, and bubbling or cracking may occur.

Solution
1

Users are advised that in seasons with large temperature differences in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is best to perform glue injection construction on the sunny side when the temperature is low, that is, when the glue joints are large, and glue injection construction on the shade side at noon and when the temperature is higher in the morning and afternoon.

2

It is recommended to build sunshades on the sunny side of the construction to avoid direct sunlight to avoid bubbling or cracking of the sealant.

3

Construction cannot be performed when the ambient temperature is too low (below 10°C).

4

Construction should be carried out in summer to avoid high temperatures.

2. Analysis of cracking situation

If the sealant is improperly selected, the displacement capacity cannot meet the requirements for joint displacement.

Solution
Choose a sealant with appropriate movement capability. For example, aluminum panel curtain walls use high-displacement weather-resistant sealant, and door and window glue cannot be used.

3. Analysis of cracking situation

During the early curing process of the sealant, the joint deformed too much.

Solution
Choose a glue that cures quickly. In the early stage of curing, there should be no joint deformation caused by external forces.
