Dowsil 791 or DC 791 is a low modulus, neutral cure, alkoxy, odourless silicone sealant. It is specifically designed for the weather sealing of building components where high movement is anticipated. Dowsil 791 adheres to a wide range of both porous and non-porous surfaces without the need for priming.

CHARACTERISTICS
