GE Silicones SCS9000 SilPruf NB Sealant Helps Protect a Historic Landmark
A versatile solution for a significant restoration In 2006, a restoration project aimed to return the iconic Empire State Building to its full glory. Heavy rain, strong winds, and UV exposure had compromised a urethane sealant applied over a decade earlier— leaving the façade vulnerable to air and water penetration. Tenants increasingly complained about bubbling drywall, water stains, and energy-draining drafts. The restoration required a more resilient sealant that would not sacrifice the building’s aesthetic appeal. The durable, stain-resistant formula of GE Silicones SCS9000 SilPruf NB sealant offered an all-in- one solution. * SilPruf is a trademark of Momentive Performance Materials Inc. siliconeforbuilding.com GE Silicones SCS9000 SilPruf NB Sealant One-component, neutral-cur
