For contractors who need a color matched sealant, it’s important to look for a product that has:

Proven Long-Term Color Performance:  Expertly matched sealant needs to look great on day 1 and continue looking great decades later.  Color stability is dependent on many things, and varies depending on regions of the country which it is applied.  It’s also important to make sure sealant is applied in the recommended way to realize these full color performance results.  Properly applied QUAD MAX maintains color for years, meeting or exceeding the life expectancy of most siding, windows, and doors its installed with.

Manufacturer Recommendations: OSI works closely with many large window, door and siding manufacturers to ensure product compatibility and long-term reliability.  With the goal of achieving high consumer satisfaction, brands like Therma-Tru Doors, James Hardie and Jeld-Wen will often perform their own testing and make recommendations for products they believe provide the best results.  This is why OSI QUAD MAX is called out by name in many installation instructions as the recommended sealant or flashing brand for pros to use.

Adhesion, Flexibility & Durability: Functional performance is incredibly important when selecting an exterior sealant for any project.  OSI QUAD MAX meets or exceeds all ASTM C920 requirements.  It is Class 50 sealant with 5X stretch capability.  It adheres extremely well to most building material substrates.  Over time, it will not crack or dry out and does not shrink during the curing process.  Long-term you will see consistency in performance on both interior and exterior applications.
