Non-toxic all-weather white caulk
Cold Weather Alert
This product may not perform properly if applied below the required temperature. Please check installation instructions on our website. Because this is a water-based product, it may freeze during shipping. For that reason we will not ship over a weekend if temperatures dip below 32 degrees F. If you want us to ship anyway, it will be at your own risk. Please call to arrange with a GBS eco-advisor. 888.727.2101SafeCoat Caulking Compound is a non-toxic, water-based, elastic, emulsion-type, white, latex-free caulking compound for interior or exterior applications. It's designed to replace solvent-based caulk for general maintenance work in kitchens and bathrooms as well as outdoors around windows, doors and siding. It contains no biocides, fungicides or other anti-microbials. SafeCoat Caulking Compound won't shrink, crack or sag once applied. It installs as white, but may slightly discolor (2-3%) over time unless painted.
NOTE: We recommend using this product within 6 months of the date of purchase.
NOTE: ย This caulk will not bond to HDPE plastics.
NOTE: natural color is white unless painted.
It has almost no odor (and none after cure), so it is safe for use in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. It exceeds all VOC and environmental regulations including Californiaโs.
Why We Like It
This is an odorless replacement for typical toxic caulk; it adheres well and won't shrink or crack for indoor or outdoor use. While it may not last as long as a silicone type caulk, it works very well and is completely safe.
