Why Dow Corning® Contractors Concrete Sealant and Dow Corning® Contractors Weatherproofing Sealant Are the Right Choice

Price

Dow Corning now delivers silicone performance at urethane-competitive prices. Dollar for dollar, you can’t get better performance for the price than with Dow Corning® Contractors Concrete Sealant (CCS) and Dow Corning® Contractors Weatherproofing Sealant (CWS). Unlike organic urethane products, silicone sealants:

  • Are virtually unaffected by UV light, ozone, rain, snow or temperature extremes
  • Stay flexible and maintain adhesion, even while being stretched or compressed
  • Will not crack, split or tear.

CCS and CWS carry a 5-Year Weatherseal Limited Warranty from Dow Corning, a brand you can trust from a company that stands behind its claims. Many urethane products carry no published warranty. With CCS and CWS, you don’t have to compromise performance for price.

Color

Design aesthetics are crucial to every project, no matter how small. That’s why CCS comes in 11 standard stocked colors and CWS comes in 20 standard stocked colors and 19 made-to-order special colors.  There is no extra charge for special colors with a minimum order. Custom colors are also available.  With CCS and CWS, you don’t have to compromise performance for color choice.

Application Flexibility

Specifying a sealant can be an overwhelming task. There are hundreds of product choices and dozens of factors that must be considered. For small- and mid-size projects, making the right choice just got a lot easier: cost-competitive, 100% silicone CCS and CWS. In addition to all-temperature gunnability and performance, these sealants also offer primerless adhesion to many common porous and nonporous building substrates. (See product specifications for CCS narrow scope projects as well as CWS narrow scope projects for more information.) With CCS and CWS, you don’t have to compromise application flexibility for price.
