Description
Silicone Sealant is a versatile, synthetic compound that changes from a viscous liquid to a durable rubber-like solid once applied. Sealants create a protective barrier to prevent the penetration of air, gas, dust, fire, smoke, liquid, and noise. Typically used to close small openings that are difficult to seal through other methods, silicone sealants are essential for both interior and exterior projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does silicone sealant take to cure?
GE SCS1000 has a fast cure rate. It typically skins over in 10-20 minutes and is rain-ready within hours. Full cure takes 24-48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. The quick adhesion means it won't wash away if exposed to water shortly after application.
Do I need to use primer with this sealant?
No, this silicone sealant offers primerless adhesion to most common surfaces including metal, glass, wood, and many plastics. This saves time and simplifies application for both professionals and DIYers.
What temperature range can this sealant withstand?
100% silicone sealants are designed to resist extreme temperatures, typically performing well from -60°F to 400°F (-51°C to 204°C). This makes them suitable for both hot and cold climate applications.
Can I paint over silicone sealant?
No, most paints do not adhere well to silicone sealant. If you need a paintable sealant, consider using an acrylic latex or hybrid sealant instead. Choose a color that matches your project to avoid the need for painting.
