Mildew-Resistant Silicone Sealants
Resistant to mold and mildew, these sealants are well suited to high-humidity environments. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Made from silicone, sealants are RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. Sealants that are good for joining dissimilar materials also work well in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.

Optically Clear Sealants
Clear enough to read through, these UV-resistant sealants allow optimal light transmission for use with solar cells and fiber optics. Sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. 3M 730 UV is good for use between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation.

Structural 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.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. For joints between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation, choose a sealant with a higher elongation or joint compression/expansion tolerance. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.

Structural Submersible Sealants
The strongest submersible sealants we offer, these combine the mechanical strength of an adhesive with excellent sealing properties and high flexibility. They’re marine grade, so they stand up to water, corrosion from salt spray, mildew, and UV light. Sealants are non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces.
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. For high-wear applications, choose a harder sealant for the most abrasion resistance.

Impact-Resistant Structural Glass Sealants
Repair equipment and vehicle windows with these sealants that are rated to withstand impact within three hours of application. They’re non-sagging, so they won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. These sealants are good for use between dissimilar materials and in environments with wide temperature fluctuation. They’re crash tested and meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 212 for windshield mounting.
Elongation indicates flexibility—the higher the value is, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain.
A primer is required. For best results use P591 for composites, glass, and fiberglass and P592 for aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.
