Reliable silicone joint sealants:
- Resist UV light, extreme temperatures and help keep water out of joints to prevent freeze-thaw damage
- Provide excellent recovery, making them ideal for use in joints that experience a high degree of movement
- Outperform organic alternatives – silicones have greater UV stability and temperature and weather resistance to ensure a long life span
- Create long-term, flexible, low- to ultralow-modulus, high-elongation silicone rubber seals capable of withstanding extension of 100 percent and compression of 50 percent of the original joint width
Dow’s silicone joint sealants are available in varying product options:
- Easy-to-install one-part sealants or rapid-cure two-part sealants
