Non-toxic all-weather white caulk
SafeCoat Caulking Compound is a non-toxic, water-based, elastic, emulsion-type, white, latex-free caulking compound for interior or exterior applications. It's designed to replace solvent-based caulk for general maintenance work in kitchens and bathrooms as well as outdoors around windows, doors and siding. It contains no biocides, fungicides or other anti-microbials. SafeCoat Caulking Compound won't shrink, crack or sag once applied. It installs as white, but may slightly discolor (2-3%) over time unless painted.
NOTE: We recommend using this product within 6 months of the date of purchase.
NOTE: This caulk will not bond to HDPE plastics.

NOTE: natural color is white unless painted.
It has almost no odor (and none after cure), so it is safe for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. It exceeds all VOC and environmental regulations including California’s.
Why We Like It
This is an odorless replacement for typical toxic caulk; it adheres well and won't shrink or crack for indoor or outdoor use. While it may not last as long as a silicone type caulk, it works very well and is completely safe.
