GE Silicones SCS9000 SilPruf NB Sealant Restores a Pristine Look
Returning a monument to its full splendor The Lotus Temple is recognized throughout the world for its architectural brilliance. Inspired by the purity and simplicity of the Bahá’í Faith and its floral namesake, the building features 27 free-standing, white marble-clad petals unfolding into a breathtaking design. In 2006, the once-pristine cladding was losing its luster after 20 years of exposure to pollution and over four million visitors each year. All 21,000 meters (68,900 feet) of the existing sealant needed to be replaced because it had seeped oils that stained the white marble. GE Silicones SCS9000 SilPruf NB sealant offered the ideal mix of attributes to help keep the Lotus Temple exterior weatherproof, looking clean, and easy to maintain. * SilPruf is a trademark of Momentiv
