DOW CORNING 123 SILICONE SEAL

Dow Corning® 123 Silicone Seal is a preformed silicone extrusion that serves as a fast, efficient replacement for failed weatherseals and is an excellent problem-solver in new construction applications. It can be bonded to a wide variety of substrates using Dow Corning® 795 Silicone Building Sealant or Dow Corning® 791 Silicone Weatherproofing Sealant to form a long-lasting, uniform weatherseal and a strong, flexible alternative to wet sealants.

In renovation projects, 123 Silicone Seal is applied over failed sealants, spanning the joint and virtually eliminating tedious caulk and sealant removal. Installation is easier and faster than other wet sealant options.

Dow Corning offers custom two- and three-dimensional designs of 123 Silicone Seal that function as attractive, cost-effective alternatives to vulcanized rubber gaskets or patches and thick sealant installations. Applications include window mitered joints (boots), corner and finish pieces, custom OEM gaskets and molded corners, and custom curtainwall applications, such as splice joints. A Custom Design Order Form is available from your local Dow Corning representative. Submission of CAD drawings expedites the process.

  • Ultra-low modulus: extension/compression capability up to +200/-75 percent of the original joint width without affecting adhesion
  • Now available in widths up to 12 inches
  • Available in textured and matte finishes in white, gray, limestone, sandstone, adobe tan, dusty rose, rustic brick, blue spruce, charcoal, bronze, black and custom colors
  • Custom designed two- and three-dimensional shapes and extrusions
  • Coatable with Dow Corning® AllGuard Silicone Elastomeric Coating
  • Can be used with most common building materials
  • 10-year Weatherseal Limited Warranty

Architectural Recommendations

To ensure performance under all temperature variations at the time of installation, good architectural practice recommends that joint width should be 1.33 times the total expected thermal joint movement, plus tolerances, and a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) for this product. A minimum bond width of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) on each side of the joint is required.
