Master Builders Solutions’ MasterSeal NP 1 is a high-performance sealant that is designed to be versatile, affordable and, above all else, reliable. The elastomeric gun-grade polyurethane sealant is great for repair and maintenance jobs or general-purpose sealing and bonding on any kind of roofing material from shingles to pipe boots to flashings to skylights and frames.  

One of the top benefits of using this sealant is that it is easy to install. The product is easy to gun and tool, speeding up application and making neater joints. Plus, no primer is required for most construction materials, lowering installation costs and it's available in a one component formula that requires no additional mixing.  

MasterSeal NP 1 sealant is ready to use immediately, straight out of the tube or sausage, which allows workers to get more productive on the job. Additionally, the sealant’s ease-of-use makes it perfect for so many applications!
