Product Description
-------------------
GE Silicone II* Concrete & Masonry 100% Silicone THREE-HOUR
RAIN-READY - Caulk has to have enough time to build adhesion to
the surface and cure or dry adequately so it won't wash away when
exposed to water. That means if rain is in the forecast,
wners and pros typically will have to delay or cancel a
project when using most caulks. If not, the rain might wash the
caulk away and the job will have to be redone. Silicone caulk,
such as GE Silicone II* Concrete & Masonry, develops strength and
adhesion quickly so it can be exposed to water in as little as
three hours. Some caulk requires up to 24 hours or longer before
it can be exposed to water. For wners trying to squeeze home
maintenance projects into the weekend or pros who are looking to
move to the next job, GE Silicone II* can decrease the waiting
time, helping increase convenience, speed, and efficiency.
SUN-/FREEZE-PROOF - The outside of a home is exposed to harsh
outdoor elements throughout the year. Extreme heat, the sun's UV
rays, and freezing temperatures can cause acrylic caulk to lose
its flexibility and degrade. The permanent flexibility of GE
Silicone II* keeps it from breaking down so it can protect a home
over time. Degraded acrylic caulk can crack and crumble over
time, leaving gaps for air and water to seep through. Those leaks
can lead to water damage, mold growth, and higher energy bills.
Why 100 percent silicone? Unlike acrylic, silicone is
permanently: Waterproof—Acrylic breaks down in water over time.
Flexible—Acrylic becomes less flexible and can even freeze at low
temperatures, making it more likely to crack.
Shrink-proof—Acrylic shrinks as the caulk dries. This shrinking
can cause cracks over time. Crack-proof—Acrylic hardens, cracks,
and crumbles over time when exposed to extreme heat and the sun's
UV rays. Made in USA.
