OSI QUAD Max Clear is designed for interior/exterior use for sealing around windows, doors and siding. It bonds to a wide variety of materials

without need for a primer such as fiber cement, cedar, brick, stone, XPS, EPS, coated aluminum, fiberglass, vinyl, PVC, stucco, EIFS, wood, glass,

concrete, masonry, flashing tapes and Kynar® coatings.

• 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 sealant whitening.

• 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 on roof applications including but not limited to metal roof panels, or on log homes

• Do not use as a traffic bearing sealant

• For joints deeper than 3/8” (9.5 mm), a backing material should be used

• If the sealant bead is exposed to rain before it is fully cured a slight haze or fogginess may develop on the surface. This is temporary,

and the bead will turn clear again once the rain stops, and the sealant bead fully cures. This is a surface phenomenon only and does

not affect the performance of the sealant in any way

For a 9.0 fl. oz. (280 ml) cartridge:

▪ A 1/4” (6 mm) bead extrudes approximately 28.0 ft. (8.5 m)

▪ A 3/8” (9.5 mm) bead extrudes approximately 12.6 ft. (3.8 m)

• Flexibility: ± 50% Joint Movement Capability

• Easy to Use in All Temperatures: 0°F to 140°F Application

• 24 Hour Fast Cure for Quicker Protection*

• Excellent dirt & dust resistance

• Immediately water resistant

• Paintable in 1 Hour*

• Strong Adhesion to Most Building Materials Without Primer

*Cure time is dependent on temperature, humidity and depth of sealant applied

Revision: October 26, 2018 Supersedes: New Ref. #: 643185 DIRECTIONS Masonry: Concrete, stone, stucco and other masonry must be cleaned where necessary by grinding or wire brushing to expose a sound surface free of contamination and laitance. Concrete must be fully cured and free of release agents. Wood and painted wood: New and weathered wood must be clean and structurally sound. Cut back weathered surfaces and dry rot until clean, sound wood is reached. Scrape away paint to bare wood.

Revision: October 26, 2018 Supersedes: New Ref. #: 643185 DIRECTIONS If the depth of the joint exceeds 3/8” (9.5 mm) the use of a backer rod such as a Closed-Cell Backer-Rod or Soft Backer-Rod is recommended. Where the joint depth does not permit the use of backer-rod, a bond breaker (polyethylene strip) must be used to prevent three-sided adhesion. To maintain the recommended sealant depth, install backer-rod by compressing and rolling it into the joint channel without stretching it lengthwise.
