About Sealant Flexibility

Structural Silicone Sealants
These structural sealants combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation indicates flexibility—the higher the values are, the more sealants can stretch. These sealants are good for use between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.
Sealants cannot be sold to the listed areas due to local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Structural Silicone Sealants with Material Certification
These sealants include a material certificate with traceable lot number, test report, and product shelf life. They are structural sealants that combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, these sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). They cannot be sold to California due to local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).
