QUICK OVERVIEW
VaproBond is a single component 100% silicone sealant designed to adhere low surface energy materials to themselves. Use VaproBond to bind layers of VaproShield membranes and/or adhere to typical construction material surfaces and/or as a liquid-applied flashing component with metal framing systems.
- UV stable, black silicone sealant and all-weather flashing material
- Binds layers of VaproShield membranes and other typical construction materials
- Creates watertight and airtight details
- Applies in 20°F (-6.7° C) and rising
- No primers, easy to gun and apply
Benefits
- Fuctions as a sealant and an all-weather silicone liquid flashing material
- Bonds to most common building materials without priming to produce a durable, structural, air and moisture tight seal
- Remains flexible under extreme temperatures
- Excellent weatherability, UV stable for extended exposure
Compatibility
- Concrete
- Masonry
- Natural stone
- Structural sheathing
- Painted Metals
- Glass
- PVC
- FRP
- EPDM
- Dry wood
- Architectural Metal Panels
- Most building materials, urethane, and acrylic sealants and coatings
