Prominent Features

» Excellent Adhesion
» Mildew resistant.
» Meets ASTM C-834, Type P, Grade -18ºC.
• Tough, durable and pliable
» Silicone fluids are added to help seal out moisture & air, plus improve adhesion & water resistance.
» Non-bleeding
» Vacuumized - microscopic air has been removed to eliminate pops and spurts during application to assure a smooth, even, non-porous bead.

Uses Ideal for sealing cracks, seams and joints around windows, doors, woodwork, siding, flashing, air conditioners and bathroom and kitchen 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 for cracks deeper than 1/4".

 

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