A non-sagging polysulfide sealant containing a phenolic tackifier can be prepared with 1.2 phr "CAB-O-SIL" M-5 and 0.3% ethylene glycol dispersed in the resin. Excellent shelf stability and non-sagging properties during pot life can be obtained with this formulation. since phenolic tackifiers stain masonry, epoxy tackifiers or other substitutes are often used. When an epoxy tackifier is used, it is added to the accelerator portion. In this formulation 1.6 phr "CAB-O-SIL" M-5, 0.2% ethylene glycol, and 0.2% "Triton" X-100 are needed to produce a shelf stable sealant composition.
