FLASHING
Here’s the 411 on 778
Dow Corning 778 silicone liquid flashing—the newest component in the Dow Corning Silicone Air Barrier System—provides a weatherproof seal at window and door openings, as well as other building transitions behind the exterior façade. According to the company, it features extended tooling time, primerless adhesion to cut sheathing edges, long-term UV resistance and rugged cured properties.
Single-part Dow Corning 778 silicone liquid flashing can be applied at temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 degrees Celsius).

MFM Flashing Tapes
Earn ICC Approval
Three of MFM Building Products’ window flashing tapes now have ICC approval.
WindowWrap PSX-20, Window-Wrap PowerBond and WindowWrap White meet the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Flexible Flashing Materials (AC148), IBC and IRC 2015 standards. The tapes also comply with AAMA 711, as a result of independent, third-party testing.
WindowWrap PSX-20 is a patented, aluminized multi-layer polymer film tape that has a UV exposure of 180 days, the company says. WindowWrap PowerBond has the same composition as WindowWrap PSX-20, but features a patented adhesive that adheres in temperatures as low as 25°F
(-4°C), while remaining stable at elevated temperatures. WindowWrap White is a multi-purpose waterproofing tape composed of a white polymer facer.
