What is the Gear Aid Seam Grip+SIL Silicone Tent Sealant?
The Gear Aid Seam Grip SIL is a silicone sealant designed to waterproof silnylon (silicone-nylon) gear seams. Whether camping in a tent, covering gear with a nylon tarp or using an ultralight backpack, this sealant is your go-to solution for keeping moisture out. It's essential for anyone looking to maintain their silicone-treated outdoor gear.
What is it made of?
Seam Grip SIL is made of silicone rubber, a material known for its exceptional waterproofing properties.
Silicone rubber forms a durable, flexible, and elastic bond that adheres exclusively to silicone-treated fabrics.
This bond ensures that the sealant flexes and stretches with your gear, preventing any peeling or cracking over time.
Whether facing scorching heat or freezing temperatures, this silicone rubber remains unaffected, offering reliable performance in all weather conditions.
What are its features?
Seam Grip SIL is not only waterproof but also provides a watertight seal that stands the test of time. It dries to a clear, rubbery finish that blends seamlessly with your gear, ensuring it remains unobtrusive. This sealant is perfect for sealing seams and repairing pinhole leaks and small tears in your silnylon equipment.
Application is a breeze – simply apply it to the seams, and within three-six hours, it cures to create a robust seal. This fast-drying formula is activated by humidity, making it effective even in less-than-ideal conditions. Once cured, the sealant withstands a wide range of temperatures, from -20°F to 180°F, ensuring your gear stays protected whether you're trekking through deserts or snow-capped mountains.
One tube can cover up to 24 feet of seams, making it a cost-effective solution for extensive waterproofing.
