Dowsil Contractors Paintable Sealant (CPS) is a hybrid, paintable sealant combining the benefits of silicones and polyurethanes.
Dowsil CPS is a one-component, hybrid sealant with superior elastomeric properties. Designed to cure quickly, once tack-free, it can be painted, providing a hassle-free solution to seal and protect surfaces. When cured, the high-movement sealant exhibits impressive capabilities, extending and compressing up to ±50 percent of original joint width.
Advantages for using Dow CPS:
- Hybrid sealant with the combined benefits of silicones/polyurethanes
- Fast skin time
- Excellent UV resistance and weathering
- Low odor, low VOC
- Non-yellowing and non-sagging
- Adhesion versatility, with primer less adhesion to most common porous/nonporous substrates, including concrete
