Behind the scenes with Tower Sealants.
What happens here
Dale explains that the 'Accelerator' product name is inspired by his past racing career, adding a personal touch to the brand. He elaborates on two main ASTM classifications for caulk: C-834 for aesthetic sealants (meant to join two substrates smoothly) and C-920 for high-performance elastomeric sealants, which are designed for extreme conditions with high joint movement, freezing/sub-freezing temperatures, and large daily temperature swings. He emphasizes that their products often exceed these minimum standards.
Goal: Differentiate between caulk types based on ASTM standards and their applications.
