RectorSeal 31631 is a non-hardening duct seal compound that stays pliable to maintain airtight seals around collars, access panels, and irregular joints while allowing future access without cutting. It excels where a flexible, gasket-like seal is needed and pairs economically with foil tapes to provide both adhesion and long-term leak resistance, often reducing labor and lifecycle maintenance costs. Unlike rigid mastics, RectorSeal prioritizes serviceability and vibration isolation, making it a strong complementary product for stable ductwork systems.
