DAP launches advanced latex sealant that’s durable, waterproof, and quick to apply

By Michelle Froese | November 10, 2021

 

Formulated with breakthrough anti-shrink technology, ALEX Ultra is designed to shrink less, creating a more durable and long-lasting seal that won’t crack, even after it’s painted.

DAP, a provider in the home improvement and construction products industry, has expanded its legacy and flagship ALEX line with the introduction of ALEX Ultra Advanced Sealant. Formulated with breakthrough anti-shrink technology, ALEX Ultra is specifically designed to solve common latex-sealant pain points while providing ease of use.

In fact, ALEX Ultra has been found to outperform the competition as the lowest shrink latex sealant on the market and features silicone additives for greater flexibility and excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates — including wood, drywall, plaster, brick, masonry, glass, as well as most plastics and metals.

These two features combined provide a long-lasting bead and excellent finish that won’t crack or lose adhesion over time.

“DAP’s Ultra portfolio offers pros the premium features they seek to improve productivity and performance,” said Justin Lingenfelser, product manager at DAP. “New ALEX Ultra takes latex sealant performance to the next level by pairing best-in-class shrink resistance, excellent adhesion strength, and a fast 15-minute paint-ready time allowing users to complete any paint project with precision and speed.”

Providing a durable and long-lasting seal, ALEX Ultra is backed by a lifetime guarantee and is easy to apply and tools smoothly. It features a fast paint-ready time of 15 minutes with a brush or can be spray painted immediately.

ALEX Ultra’s anti-shrink technology helps to ensure paint film cracking will not occur, providing outstanding and long-lasting paint finish results. It won’t shine through or discolor paint, is mold and mildew resistant once cured and is an ideal solution for any paint project application.
