- Product Description

Sealex ImmerSeal® Pre-cured Silicone Sealant is an ultra low modulus RTV cured silicone extrusion used in a wide variety of construction related waterproofing applications.  ImmerSeal® is bonded to substrates using a premium silicone sealant such as ImmerBond® as the adhesive. Because of the unique properties of ImmerSeal®, it is used as a permanent sealing solution where other materials have failed time and time again. ImmerSeal® is manufactured from 100% silicone using a revolutionary patented process specifically designed for maximum production flexibility and product variety.
