Usage Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is neutral cure silicone sealant?

Neutral cure silicone releases non-corrosive byproducts during curing, making it safe for use on metals, mirrors, and sensitive materials without causing corrosion or damage, unlike acetoxy cure sealants that release acetic acid.

2) Can I use DOWSIL™ 789 for bathroom sealing?

Yes, DOWSIL™ 789 is excellent for bathroom sealing. The water-resistant and mold-resistant properties make it ideal for sealing sinks, bathtubs, showers, and countertops in wet environments.

3) Is DOWSIL™ 789 suitable for exterior use?

Yes, DOWSIL™ 789 is specifically designed for weatherproofing. The excellent weather resistance and UV stability make it ideal for exterior sealing, window frames, and expansion joints exposed to weather.

4) What surfaces does DOWSIL™ 789 adhere to?

DOWSIL™ 789 adheres to glass, aluminum, metal, ceramic, wood, and most building materials. The neutral cure formulation provides excellent adhesion without primers on most common construction substrates.

5) How long does it take to cure?

DOWSIL™ 789 skins over in 10-20 minutes and fully cures in 24 hours at room temperature. Cure time may vary based on temperature, humidity, and joint depth. Thicker applications take longer to cure.

6) Can I paint over DOWSIL™ 789?

Silicone sealants generally cannot be painted. If paintability is required, consider using paintable acrylic or hybrid sealants instead. DOWSIL™ 789 is best for applications where clear or color-matched sealing is acceptable.

7) How do I remove old silicone sealant?

Cut away old sealant with utility knife, then scrape remaining residue with scraper or razor blade. Clean surface with silicone remover or mineral spirits before applying new sealant for proper adhesion.
