Dow 786 Silicone RTV Sealant - 10.1 Fluid Ounce Cartridge

Dow 786 RTV (formerly Dow Corning 786 RTV) silicone sealant is perfect for nonporous surfaces, showers, tubs, sinks and plumbing fixtures and contains an antimicrobial. Dow 786 has been effectively tested against a spectrum of microbes. Dow 786 Silicone Sealant is a one-part, acetoxy-cure, silicone rubber sealant that is mildew resistant when cured and is also suitable for sealing porcelain, cultured marble, glass, painted areas, and other nonporous surfaces and plumbing fixtures for both new and remedial construction. Dow 786 silicone caulk is ideal for usage where high humidity and temperature extremes are present. Dow 786 sealant remains permanently flexible and will not shrink, crack, crumble or dry out. Dow 786 resists staining, spotting and color changes and well as retaining its original design properties even after many years of exposure.
