Better than silicone
Clear is a non-toxic, ultra-low odor, elastomeric caulk and sealant for indoor or outdoor use (-40 °F to 200 °F) that outperforms most urethanes and silicones. Clear is moisture-cured, making it perfect for tough job-site conditions that are very dry or damp; it's also good in cold climates as it can be applied at temperatures as low as 30 °F. Use on wood, metal, glass, EIFS, EPS foam, concrete and stone.
It works well in joints that expand or contract more than 25%. Unlike most silicones, CLEAR is rain-ready within 20 minutes, compared to 1-3 hours, and is paintable after 24 hours.
NOTE: We recommend using this product within 6 months of the date of purchase.
NOTE 2: To smooth out Chemlink Clear, use only rubbing alcohol and not water or mineral spirits or anything with xylene.
NOTE 3: ChemLink products do not adhere to polyethylene, HDPE or polypropylene (recycled plastics)
Why We Like It
Applying caulk in cold or damp weather can be a challenge that holds up the whole job. CLEAR is the perfect multi-purpose product that performs better than some silicones with the advantage of being paintable and rain-ready within 20 minutes. Ultra low VOC 14.43 g/l and no odor when dry.
