Water Repellent

Professional® Water Sealant is a unique penetrating water repellent which is manufactured using room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber as the active ingredient. This high performance “gun grade” silicone rubber was developed for use by the military during World War II to meet applications requiring superior durability and resistance to extreme temperatures. It’s use provides all formulations of Professional® Water Sealant with performance characteristics that far exceed those of other penetrating water repellent technologies.

A Superior Alternative to Silanes and Siloxanes
