Low-VOC seal

  • Low VOCs

  • Adheres to most substrates

Providing adhesion to aluminum, wood, FRP, Filon and other substrates, LoVOC Seal is a one-component, moisture-curing formulation with non-sag properties. Free of xylene, toluene, MEK and similar solvents, this seal features minimal VOC content (<69g/l) and low HAPs (<6g/l). In addition, LoVOC Seal meets the SCAQMD (Southern California air quality) emission standards. The sealant is recommended for joint and weld-line sealing applications that require limited low-sealant shrinkage upon cure. It can be used for fabricating and assembling transportation and transit vehicles. Typical uses include sealing around door, window and air conditioner openings; sealing roof and sidewall lap seams; and weatherproofing interior and exterior sidewall penetrations.
