Adheseal S100 Designer Silicone is built for wet-area joints where failure means callbacks. Its neutral-cure, anti-fungal formulation delivers predictable performance on tiled, glazed, and sanitary surfaces, flexing with movement instead of tearing or letting go.
With high elasticity and long-term waterproofing, S100 handles temperature swings and structural movement common on Australian sites. It tools cleanly, skins fast, and cures to a smooth, dust-resistant finish that holds up in humid bathrooms, kitchens, and balconies.
Load the tube, run the joint, tool it once—then move on knowing it’s first-time-right with no costly callbacks.
Potential Outcome: Poor adhesion and early mould growth leading to rework.
Adheseal Best Practice: Ensure surfaces are dry and concrete has cured at least 28 days before sealing. You’ll feel consistent drag when the surface is ready—no rework later.
Potential Outcome: Reduced movement capability and premature joint failure.
Adheseal Best Practice: Use a backing rod to maintain a 2:1 width-to-depth ratio. The joint flexes properly and stays sealed.
The Professional’s Challenge: Keeping joints clean, flexible, and mould-free in high-moisture environments.
The Adheseal Solution: S100 tools smoothly and cures fast, forming a flexible gasket between tiles and sanitary ware that won’t harden or crack.
Best Practice Note: Tool within 15 minutes using a damp spatula for a clean line. Success means a sharp finish and no return visits.
The Professional’s Challenge: Different materials moving at different rates around benchtops and sinks.
The Adheseal Solution: High elasticity absorbs movement between laminate, tile, and ceramic without losing adhesion.
Best Practice Note: Mask edges before gunning for a sharp finish that protects your margin and your name.
Yes. Adheseal S100 is a sanitary-grade silicone designed for wet areas, with built-in anti-fungal protection to resist mould and mildew.
No. Like all sanitary silicones, Adheseal S100 is not paintable and should be colour-matched to the finished surface.
Adheseal S100 accommodates joint movement up to ±25%, allowing tiles and substrates to move without joint failure.
| Application | Key Benefit | Primary Trades |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom joints | Mould-resistant waterproof seal | Tilers, Plumbers |
| Kitchen benchtops | Flexible movement absorption | Builders, Joiners |
| Glass partitions | Clean, colour-stable finish | Glaziers |
Use standard PPE. Avoid eye contact and prolonged skin contact. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Surfaces must be sound, dry, and thoroughly cleaned of all dust, grout haze, and soap scum. Use the two-wipe process with a suitable solvent for a guaranteed, contaminant-free bond.
Adhesion to ceramic and porcelain surfaces is excellent. Ensure the surface is impeccably clean for best results.
Surfaces must be perfectly clean and free from oils, grease, and cleaning agent residues. Use the two-wipe process with 100% White Spirits for a streak-free, high-adhesion surface.
An adhesion test is always a good practice for critical applications, but primer is generally unnecessary on these substrates.
Clean metal surfaces to remove any oils or protective coatings. The neutral cure formula is non-corrosive and will not damage galvanized, zinc-coated, or powder-coated steel finishes.
For maximum adhesion on non-porous metals, Adheseal Primer 50A can be used if an adhesion test indicates it is necessary.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any mould release agents or polishing compounds. A light abrasion may be required on some hard plastics to promote adhesion.
Adhesion to acrylics and fibreglass is typically excellent. If required after testing, use a suitable plastics primer.
