This premium, one-part acetoxy sealant is designed to provide superior sealing and bonding for all your hot tub and spa needs. With its exceptional durability and versatile application, it’s the ideal choice for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.

Why Choose Dowsil 781 White Sealant?

Superior Adhesion

Dowsil 781 offers outstanding adhesion to a wide range of non-porous surfaces commonly found in hot tub construction and maintenance. Whether you’re working with glass, aluminum, painted surfaces, or composite boards, this sealant provides a reliable, long-lasting bond.

Brilliant White Finish

The crisp white color of Dowsil 781 makes it perfect for applications where you want the sealant to blend seamlessly with white or light-colored surfaces in your hot tub or spa area. It’s ideal for creating clean, professional-looking finishes.

Exceptional Durability

Engineered to withstand the challenging environment of hot tubs, Dowsil 781 offers excellent resistance to aging, shrinkage, cracking, and discoloring. This means your seals will maintain their integrity and appearance for years to come.

Perfect for Hot Tub Applications

Versatile Use

Dowsil 781 White Silicone Sealant is suitable for a wide range of sealing and bonding applications in hot tubs and spas, including:

• Sealing joints between tub and surround
• Waterproofing around jets and fittings
• Bonding decorative elements
• Sealing gaps in composite boards
• Creating watertight seals around windows or transparent panels

Water and Temperature Resistant

Formulated to excel in the hot tub environment, Dowsil 781 maintains its integrity in both hot and cold water conditions. It resists degradation from exposure to chemicals commonly used in spa water treatment, ensuring long-lasting performance.

How It Works

As an acetoxy sealant, Dowsil 781 cures by reaction with moisture in the air, forming a durable, elastic silicone rubber. This process allows it to maintain flexibility while providing a watertight seal, accommodating the natural expansion and contraction of materials in changing temperatures.

Application Tips

1. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease before application.
2. Use masking tape for a neat finish, especially important with the white color.
3. Apply the sealant in a continuous bead, ensuring full contact with both surfaces.
4. Smooth the sealant within 5 minutes of application using a wet spatula or finger.
5. Allow the sealant to cure fully before exposing to water (typically 24-48 hours for a complete cure).

Benefits of Using Dowsil 781 White Sealant

Long-Lasting Performance

Once cured, Dowsil 781 forms a robust, flexible seal that resists cracking, shrinking, and discoloration over time, even when exposed to harsh hot tub conditions.

UV Resistant

The white formulation is resistant to yellowing from UV exposure, maintaining its bright appearance for years, even in outdoor applications.

Easy Application

The 310ml cartridge is designed for use with standard caulking guns, making application straightforward and precise, even for DIY users.
