When it comes to waterproofing, every detail matters. The right sealant can be the difference between a project that lasts and one that needs constant maintenance. That’s why we’re excited to introduce WP-53 Hybrid Sealant, a next-generation solution designed for contractors who demand durability, efficiency, and reliability on the job.

What is WP-53 Hybrid Sealant?

WP-53 is a one-component, modified hybrid silicone sealant that provides superior adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including:

  • Plywood
  • Metal
  • Glass
  • Aluminum
  • FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic)
  • Most common construction substrates

With a fast cure time, high bonding strength, and exceptional weather resistance, WP-53 Hybrid Sealant is a game changer for waterproofing applications.

Why WP-53? Key Benefits for Contractors

WP-53 isn’t just another sealant—it’s built for real-world jobsite challenges. Here’s what sets it apart:

Fast Drying

Time is money. WP-53 cures quickly, allowing you to move forward with the next steps of your project without delays.

🔗 Superior Bonding Strength

This sealant isn’t just sticking to the surface—it’s creating a long-lasting, flexible bond that resists cracking and deterioration.

🎨 Paintable & Sandable

Need a seamless, professional finish? WP-53 can be painted over or sanded down for a clean, polished look.

Weather & Water Resistant

Built to withstand the elements, WP-53 Hybrid Sealant is designed for long-term durability, preventing water intrusion and damage.

🔄 Permanently Flexible

Unlike some sealants that harden and crack over time, WP-53 remains elastic, adapting to structural movement and temperature changes.

Where to Use WP-53

WP-53 is ideal for any application that requires a modified silicone sealant. It’s commonly used for:

  • Flashing seams and overlaps – Works seamlessly with bonderized flashing.
  • Waterproofing systems – Compatible with the WP-95 Waterproofing Membrane and WP-40 Sheet Membrane.
  • ALX & MACoat Systems – A trusted component in these industry-leading systems.

Packaging & Shelf Life

WP-53 is available in 9.8 fl. oz. cartridges (24 cartridges per case) and has a shelf life of one year in unopened packaging. This means you can stock up with confidence, knowing it will be ready when you need it.
