The sealant is flexible and stable ranging from 60°C (76°F) to +180°C (356°F), with short peaks up to +205°C (401°F). Flexibility and stability of the black sealant version ranges from 60°C (-76°F) to +205°C (401°F), with short peaks up to +230°C (446°F). The product comprises excellent dielectric properties. According to the physical properties of the product, this sealant takes 7 days to cure if exposed to air at 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity of 50 percent.

Some of the special features of Dow Corning 732 Multi-Purpose Sealant that provide benefits to the customers include good weather resistance, resistance to temperature extremes and moisture, and the ability of non-flow. At room temperature when the sealant is exposed to moisture in the air, it is cured forming flexible, durable and tough silicone rubber.

As the name of Dow Corning 732 Multi-Purpose Silicone Sealant suggests, it can be used for various purposes. In general, it is used for industrial bonding and sealing applications. It complies with MIL-A-46106A and FDA 177.2600. Some of the useful applications include sealing of marine windows and cabins, oven door windows, truck cabs, trailers, and flues on access doors, gas appliances and pipe joints. It can be used for bonding the gaskets in refrigeration and heating units and also for adhesion of various materials including metal, fabric-backed plastics and fabric.

Once you get to know about the features and benefits of a product, it is always important to know the safety and hazards related to the use. There are no potential hazards of using Dow Corning 732 Multi-Purpose Sealant and no prolonged effects due to exposure. Some of the acute effects include mild irritation due to direct contact of the sealant to your eyes or skin. It is also required to properly store the product in the original containers that are not opened. This will ensure the long life of the sealant that is 30 months starting from the date of production.

Proper steps should be taken for using Dow Corning Sealant 732 since it can lead to impairment of adhesion. The surface on which the sealant is being applied should be dry and clean, washed off from grease and contaminants.
