DOWSIL™ 786 Silicone Sealant
Product:
DOWSIL™ 786 Silicone Sealant is a single-component, ready-to-use silicone rubber sealant. The sealant adheres to many surfaces, such as porcelain, cultured marble, painted areas and glass, without the use of a primer.
Cured DOWSIL™ 786 Silicone Sealant is mildew resistant.
DOWSIL™ 786 Silicone Sealant is available in white, translucent white, almond, clear and gray.
DOWSIL™ 786 Silicone Sealant is compatible with most substrates. However, adhesion and compatibility should be evaluated in each instance prior to use.
Primers:
Primers are not usually required on ceramic, glass and glazed surfaces. It is possible that
certain products should be primed for maximum adhesion. A recommended primer for use
with metals, Formica and plastics is DOWSIL™ 1200 OS Primer. Refer to the Construction
Americas Technical Manual, No. 62-1112, for more specific recommendations. In cases
where doubt exists, a sample should be tested before full-scale use.
