Imperial brand clear silicone safe?

[Mechano]

silicone product question.

So I have a full tube of this imperial brand silicone. Says clear silicone and it’s gonna be used for a few small rockscape pieces(if it’s safe of course)

Anyone use this? Can a pro chime in?

Here’s a pic

Not familiar with that band of silicone, but the FDA rating is the same as other silicone that is acceptable for aquarium use.

CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21

The issue with that is that does not include submersion in SW or if it leaches things when submerged.

With that said and looking at SDS, I would not use it. I would pick up some other type of silicone that is listed as aquarium safe. For example, Loctite silicone (link below) is aquarium safe (not for joining glass panes per them) and works great for affixing rocks together.

Loctite Clear Silicone

Sealing sinks, tubs, plumbing, windows and aquariums. Water and weatherproof.
