Description

PRO PLUS Siliconized Acrylic Latex Sealant is a professional grade siliconized acrylic sealant. Its no-crack* formula resists paint film cracking and spider-webbing, and allows paint-over in as little as 30 minutes with a high quality acrylic paint**. Providing superior adhesion and durability on a wide variety of substrates, PRO PLUS is vacuumized, bright white, and easy to gun and tool. Cured sealant is mildew resistant, and meets ASTM C-834, Type OP, Grade -18°C. PRO PLUS forms an airtight seal to provide weatherproofing protection when applied to such surfaces as wood, glass, drywall, plaster, metal, concrete, ceramic tile, and brick. Can be used for interior or exterior applications.

*  When painted over with most premium acrylic latex semi-gloss and gloss paints, this sealant displayed no crazing or spiderwebbing. 

** Paint-over time dependent on humidity, temperature, substrate, and paint quality.

Uses

Ideal for sealing cracks, seams and joints around doors, windows, baseboards, moulding, pipes, vents, flashing, siding, kitchens and bathroom counters.

Limitations Not intended for under water use. Do not apply when rain is expected. Keep from freezing. Not for use on food contact areas.

Surface Preparation Surface must be clean, dry and free from dirt, dust, grease, oil, mildew, wax, loose paint and old caulking material. Prime bare surfaces before caulking


Application Apply only when sealant and surface temperatures are above 50ºF (10ºC). Cut nozzle at a 45º angle to desired thickness of bead. Apply with a standard or dripless caulking gun. Use steady pressure to completely fill joints. For a neat appearance, smooth bead with a moistened brush or cloth. Remove excess material before cured using a water moistened cloth. For best results, cured beads should be between 1/8" - 1/2" wide and 1/8" - 1/4" deep. Use backing rod or back-up filler such as Ethafoam for cracks deeper than 1/4"

Clean Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm, soapy water
