Adhesion is important because in almost all regions, there is some movement or shifting from seasonal changes.  A strong bond is one requirement for bridging the gap and maintaining a long-term seal.  Most technologies (latex, silicones, polyurethanes and solvents) have limitations on what they will adhere to.  Hybrids, however, stick to almost any surface or common building material – smooth and porous alike.  This can reduce the number of sealant products a contractor needs to carry with them on the job site.  Costly callbacks and customer complaints are a contractor’s worst nightmare.  Choosing hybrid sealants can take some of the guesswork out of the purchase decision process and deliver more consistent results.

OSI QUAD MAX is a class 50 hybrid sealant that’s designed to withstand high joint movement. The flexibility of the sealant bead is maintained over time, as hybrid sealants will not typically dry-out or crack. The same flexibility and elasticity established on day one of the job will remain throughout the sealant’s life. When combined with great substrate adhesion, the water and airproof seal created with hybrid sealants will typically perform better than other technologies.

If you’re ready to try out a hybrid polymer sealant on your next job, choose OSI QUAD MAX.  Protect your installs with a product that works hard and helps make every structure Tougher Than The Elements®.
