Key Features
- Clear, color code CL, is a published American Sealants stock color for ASI 502.
- One-component, moisture cure, acetoxy silicone. It cures to a durable rubber without mixing or a hardener.
- 10.2 oz. caulking cartridge, 24 per case, for a standard cartridge caulking gun.
- American Sealants publishes the cured rubber as able to withstand a variety of extreme environments.
- Clear silicone is the general-purpose choice where no color match exists and the joint should read as glass rather than as a line.
Who Is This For?
Countertop installers, glaziers, plumbers and maintenance crews sealing sink rims, glass, tile and fixture joints where a colored bead would be more visible than the joint itself. The 24-cartridge case is a normal shop stocking quantity.
What This Is Not For
Clear silicone will not take paint. Where the joint has to be painted over, ASI 174 Siliconized Acrylic Latex Caulk is the paintable product American Sealants publishes, and it is available in clear as well. Clear also does nothing to hide a wide or uneven joint, where an opaque color covers better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is clear a stock color?
Yes. Clear, color code CL, is on the American Sealants ASI 502 stock color list, published in 10.2 oz. caulking cartridges at 24 per case.
Can clear silicone be painted?
American Sealants publishes no paintable claim for ASI 502 100% RTV Silicone. The paintable product in the range is ASI 174 Siliconized Acrylic Latex, which is published as a paintable sealant.
What does 100% RTV mean here?
RTV stands for room temperature vulcanising: ASI 502 is a one-component silicone that cures at room temperature on contact with atmospheric moisture, with no heat and no catalyst added.
How long before it cures?
American Sealants does not publish a tack-free or full-cure time for ASI 502 in the sources on file. Moisture-cure silicone depends on ambient humidity, temperature and joint depth.
