GS1 Silicone
Neutral Cure

GS1 neutral cure silicone is a one-part, medium modulus, high purity silicone formulation which uses no filler extenders or non-curing plasticizers. It is designed for residential in-plant glazing applications, field glazing and window installation. It offers primerless adhesion to PVC for use as a primary backbedding compound. GS1 cures in the presence of moisture and oxygen to provide excellent resistance to cold, rain, ozone, heat and sunlight.
Basic Use GS1 silicone glazing sealant is supplied ready-to-use. Under pressure, it flows readily from its container. The one-part, neutral cure is compatible to most common non-porous building component surfaces.
