Achieving a truly weather-tight and durable building envelope relies not only on high-quality membranes but also on effective sealants. The PROTECTO SEALANT 25XL, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, is specifically designed to complement Protecto Wrap’s extensive line of waterproofing products, ensuring a synergistic and long-lasting seal for critical connections.
This sealant is a high-performance, one-component polyurethane formula in a clean white color. It is engineered for both durability and flexibility, offering excellent long-term weather resistance and UV stability, which are crucial for exposed applications.
PROTECTO SEALANT 25XL demonstrates aggressive adhesion to common building materials, with peel adhesion results of 18-22 pli on concrete and 20-25 pli on aluminum, with no adhesion loss. Its movement capability of ±35% allows it to accommodate dynamic joint movement without compromising the seal.
Designed for ease of use, it has a skin time of 30-90 minutes and a tack-free time of 3-4 hours, allowing for efficient tooling. It can be applied with conventional hand-caulking and air gunning equipment.

- UV Stable: Maintains performance and appearance even when exposed to UV radiation.
- Easy Application: Can be applied with standard caulking equipment.
- Fast Curing: Achieves skin in 30-90 minutes and is tack-free in 3-4 hours.
- Durable Seal: Passes accelerated weathering tests.
- Low Shrinkage: Weight loss is less than 2%.
- 12-Month Shelf Life: Ensures product viability for extended periods when stored correctly.
Applications:
- Back-bedding nail flanges for window and door installations.
- Sealing door thresholds.
- General-purpose sealing applications where a durable, flexible, and weather-resistant seal is required.
- Compatible with all Protecto Wrap flashing tapes and membranes.
Installation Considerations:
- Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, or other contaminants that could affect adhesion.
- Application: Apply with conventional hand-caulking and air gunning equipment, filling the joint completely to a proper width-to-depth ratio and tooling as needed.
- Curing: Do NOT cover wet sealant with any self-adhered flashings; allow the sealant to cure prior to applying self-adhered flashing.
- Limitations: Do not allow the sealant to freeze. Do not apply over wet or contaminated surfaces.
