It doesnt say internal or external on the tube.

If they are uPVC frames use something like Cerasit 7T, as used by
professional window installers. I got some from my local tool hire
centre.

+1 for Cerasit but make sure you mask the frames before applying as it
sticks like a bugger and wont come off if you spread it around.

Better off with an MS polymer than a silicone. 20-odd year expected
life rather than 5. Overpaintable etc, etc. Silicone of any brand
has no advantages I can think other than availability in a few more
colours and a little less cost.
