Engineered from advanced silicon compound (YSSIL607), this silicon provides exceptional durability, elasticity, and resistance to extreme weather conditions. It ensures a reliable and watertight seal for silicone roof flashing, protecting your roofing systems against harsh environmental factors like UV exposure, ozone deterioration, and temperature fluctuations.
Whether you are installing or repairing roof flashing on residential homes or commercial buildings, our silicon delivers consistent performance and long-term reliability.
Key Features of Silicon for Dektite Roof Flashing
- Superior Density: Offers a stable density of 1.3 g/cm³, ensuring robustness and reliability in sealing applications.
- Optimal Hardness (Shore A): Precisely balanced hardness (60 ± 5 Shore A) for easy application and strong structural integrity.
- High Tensile Strength: Achieves an impressive tensile strength of 1100 psi, significantly exceeding the minimum requirement of 800 psi, ensuring prolonged durability.
- Excellent Elongation: Boasts an elongation capacity of 550%, far exceeding the standard requirement of 300%, allowing flexibility and adaptability during installations.
- Outstanding Ozone Resistance: After 7 days at 100 pphm (100°F, 50% extension), no cracks appear, ensuring resistance to ozone deterioration.
- Low & High Temperature Performance: Successfully withstands low temperature brittleness tests at -70°C and high-temperature brittleness at +230°C, providing outstanding performance across extreme temperatures.
- Superior Ageing Properties: Maintains performance with minimal changes in hardness, tensile strength, and elongation after prolonged heat ageing (28 days at 302°F/150°C).
- UV Stability: No observable change after 200 hours of UV exposure at 60°C and 313nm wavelength, ensuring longevity and sustained appearance.

Before application, thoroughly clean the roof surface and pipe penetration area. Cut the Dektite flashing cone to fit the pipe snugly. Apply a generous and continuous bead of silicon around the underside edge of the silicone roof flashing, pressing firmly onto the roof surface. Smooth out excess silicon to create a waterproof seal and ensure full coverage. Allow adequate drying time as indicated on the packaging (usually 24 hours) before exposure to weather conditions.
Yes, the silicon provided by Solar Rains is specifically formulated to withstand extreme temperatures, maintaining excellent elasticity and sealing properties from as low as -70°C to as high as +230°C. This wide temperature tolerance ensures reliability in diverse climatic regions, including hot desert-like environments and cold alpine conditions.
Store unopened silicon tubes in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. For partially used tubes, ensure the nozzle is tightly sealed or covered to prevent curing within the tube. Optimal storage temperatures range between 5°C to 25°C. Proper storage extends shelf life and maintains the product’s consistency for future use.
Absolutely. The Silicon for Dektite Roof Flashing from Solar Rains offers exceptional adhesion to a wide range of roofing materials including metal roofs, concrete tiles, terracotta, composite shingles, and asphalt-based materials. Its universal compatibility makes it ideal for professional roofing projects and DIY home improvements alike.
This high-quality silicon typically retains its sealing properties for upwards of 20 years under normal environmental conditions. It is specifically engineered for long-term stability, providing outstanding resistance against UV radiation, ozone degradation, and temperature extremes. Routine inspection and minimal maintenance ensure prolonged effectiveness.
While applying silicon, it is advisable to wear gloves and protective eyewear to prevent skin and eye irritation. Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces to minimize exposure to fumes during application. Wash hands thoroughly after use and avoid ingestion or prolonged inhalation of fumes. Always follow the detailed safety instructions provided on the silicon packaging for a safe installation experience.
