Limitations
- DOW CORNING 781 Silicone Sealant is not recommended for use on porous substrates such as concrete, stone, marble or granite.
- DOW CORNING 781 Silicone Sealant should not be used in contact with the edge seal of an insulated glazing unit.
- Do not use DOW CORNING 781 Silicone Sealant on bituminous substrates, substrates based on natural rubber, choloroprene or EPDM, or on building materials and flexible plastics which might bleed oils, plasticizers, or solvents.
- Do not use DOW CORNING 781 Silicone Sealant in a totally confined space because the sealant requires atmospheric moisture to cure.
