About Sealant Flexibility

Structural Oil- and Fuel-Resistant Sealants
Impervious to the swelling effects of oils, fuels, and solvents, use this high-strength silicone sealant to assemble and repair fuel systems and tanks. Silicone forms a tough, rubbery, UV-resistant seal that remains flexible over time. It's non-sagging, so it won't drip from vertical and overhead surfaces. Also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Elongation and joint expansion/compression tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values are, the more joint movement sealants can sustain. This sealant is best suited to joints between similar materials that aren't exposed to wide temperature fluctuation.
