*Cure time is dependent on temperature, humidity and depth of sealant applied
OSI QUAD MAX is designed for interior/exterior use for sealing around windows, doors and siding. It bonds to a wide variety of materials without need for primer such as fiber
cement, cedar, brick, stone, XPS, EPS, coated aluminum, steel, fiberglass, vinyl, PVC, stucco, EIFS, wood, glass, concrete, masonry, flashing tapes and Kynar
®
coatings.
For Best Results:
DO NOT TOOL or smear/feather on prefinished colored claddings (i.e. siding, trim, etc.) as this will reduce any sealants ability to withstand UV exposure and joint
movement, causing premature joint failure and color fading.
• DO NOT use as a nail hole filler or in touch-up applications on prefinished exterior building materials. Follow prefinished cladding manufacturer’s instructions for
nail hole filling
• Not recommended for field joint/butt joint applications on pre-finished exterior claddings and trim materials
• Do not use on joints immersed in water or applications requiring continuous water immersion
• Do not use as a traffic bearing sealant or on log homes
• For joints deeper than 3/8” (9.5 mm), a backing material should be used

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description: OSI QUAD MAX is the next generation of siding, window and door sealants that offers
maximum durability and application performance for use in many interior or exterior conditions. OSI
QUAD MAX takes the guess work out of color matching with thousands of color matches to primary
building material manufacturers. It has been proven to stick on wet and cold surfaces and offers long
term durability against the harmful effects of sun exposure. Unlike traditional solvent sealants, OSI
QUAD MAX is resistant to bubbling and has no shrinkage. By providing superior protection against air
and moisture, you’ve done it right the first time.
