Description
Used to seal around boxes, flashings and service entries. In cathodic protection, used to seal thermite weld molds from leakage when welding on irregular shapes. Compound is pliable, non-corrosive to metals and can be painted. For both indoor and outdoor use.
#1003 Asbestos Free Sealer is a gray, permanently soft, non·toxic compound which will adhere to most clean dry surfaces. #1003 Asbestos Free Sealer will not adversely affect other plastic materials or corrode metals. It also has no adverse effect to human skin. #1003 Sealer is used primarily by the building and specifically by the electrical trade' to seal around junction boxes, flashings, and service mast entries, etc. It can be shaped by hand to any form and reused if necessary. #1003 Sealer has countless other applications in the refrigeration, heating and cooling, plumbing, and metal fabrication fields as well as being an excellent general purpose sealant around the home. #1003 Sealer may be painted immediately after application and will not bleed through the dry paint film.
