DOWSIL™ 795 Silicone Building Sealant

What is DOWSIL™ 795 Silicone Building Sealant?

A one-component, neutral-curing, medium modulus silicone sealant intended for weatherseal and structural applications with excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials, including glass, metal and aluminum. Sustainability: Low embodied carbon DOWSIL™ Silicone. Project specific DOW Carbon Neutrality Certificate on request. Externally verified carbon neutrality according to PAS 2060. Carbon Neutrality with DOW Carbon “INSETS” and reduce carbon footprint. Green Building certification: contributes to getting additional credits. Enhance carbon balance (>20x) with long-term durable façade silicones.

Uses

Suitable for most new construction and remedial sealing applications
Structural and nonstructural glazing
Structural attachment of many panel systems
Panel stiffener applications
Weather sealing of most common construction materials including glass, aluminum, steel, painted metal, EIFS, granite and other stone, concrete, brick and plastics

Benefits

Highly resistant to weather, UV and temperature extremes
One-part, medium-modulus neutral-cure adhesive/sealant silicone material
Supports glass and other panel materials under high wind load
Weatherproofs substrates such as glass, aluminum, steel, painted metal, EIFS, granite & other stone, concrete, brick, plastic
Ready to use as supplied with all-temperature gunnability, easy tooling and low-odor curing
