Silicone Weatherproof Sealant for Construction

From new construction to renovations, general weather sealing to structural glazing, DOWSIL(tm) 795 silicone building sealant delivers a durable yet highly flexible seal.

A one-part, neutral cure, low odour construction-grade sealant that offers excellent adhesion and weather resistance. Securely bonds without primer to glass, polycarbonate, vinyl, aluminum, concrete, wood and many plastics.

GE012A
GE012A is an ultra clear, room temperature-cure, polyaddition silicone liquid adhesive sealant with no by-products, low shrinkage, and non-corrosive characteristics. It offers high transparency, is easy to apply and can be used to form a weatherproof bond on a wide variety of materials, including glass, ceramics, aluminum, primed steel and some plastics.

Suitable for a wide range of applications, including building construction joints and glazing steel and aluminum windows, painted and plastic coated wood windows, interior glass partitions, skylights and other surfaces. GE012A effectively weatherproofs junctions of building materials and is a common choice for glazing steel and aluminum windows, curtainwall, mullion, and other exterior construction joints.

To ensure that the joint does not deteriorate, it is important to provide a good, strong bond between the substrate and the sealant. Pre-test the joint to verify its ability to resist moisture, movement, and other environmental conditions before installation is complete.

Gorilla Sealant
Gorilla Sealant is a clear, waterproof silicone sealant that won't yellow or crack. It's perfect for repairing small gaps and leaks in windows, doors, plumbing, gutters and auto or marine plumbing.

It is also mold and mildew resistant. It is a good choice for sealing sinks, tubs and aquariums.

The global Construction Silicone Sealant market is expected to witness a significant decline in 2020-2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the supply of materials and labor, which has resulted in cancellations of projects.

Moreover, the global demand for environment-friendly construction products has influenced manufacturers to produce low VOCs sealants. These eco-friendly sealants are made from renewable, recycled, remanufactured or biodegradable materials, which are safe for the health of people living in buildings.

The global market for Construction Silicone Sealant is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2021 to 2026. The market is driven by the increasing demand for window & door systems, weatherproofing and decorative applications in residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure sectors.

Project 1 RTV Silicone Sealant
Whether you are a homeowner or a professional contractor, silicone is a versatile sealant that can be used on a wide variety of materials. It is highly weather resistant, has excellent sealing and adhesion properties and is easy to apply.

Project 1 RTV Silicone Sealant is a 100% neutral cure, non-corrosive, high quality silicone that provides a durable, long lasting waterproof and flexible seal that is also mold and mildew resistant. It can be applied on a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal and plastics.

Unlike rubber sealants, silicones are resistant to temperature fluctuations and they form tight, reliable seals that last 4 times longer than rubber does. This is why they are preferred for industrial manufacturing, maintenance and construction applications. Besides their durability, they are also flexible, allowing them to conform to different shapes and sizes. They are also resistant to thermal expansion and contraction, wind oscillation and seismic movement. They are an excellent choice for sealing and bonding glass, ceramics, metal, plastic, concrete and bricks.
