Description
Chem-Set™ RTV4500 Specialty Translucent Colors deliver the same industrial-grade performance as our standard RTV4500 line—with the added advantage of aesthetic versatility. Made with 100% RTV acetoxy silicone and zero fillers, this line is ideal for customers who require seamless, color-integrated finishes across stone, glass, tile, and metal.
These translucent tones offer clean visual blending while maintaining all the chemical and mechanical performance characteristics that contractors, fabricators, and OEMs expect from Chem-Set silicone: food-safe, UV-resistant, flexible, and built to last in both interior and exterior conditions.
Whether you’re color-matching to quartz, glass, powder-coated metals, or translucent panels, these options help deliver a professional, invisible finish without compromising quality.
