Technical Overview
Adheseal S100 Kitchen & Bathroom Silicone Sealant is formulated to provide a permanently elastic and dustproof joint seal. Its neutral curing system ensures compatibility with various substrates, while its anti-fungal properties prevent mould growth. The high elasticity and UV stability make it suitable for both internal and external applications.
Chemical Properties: Polysiloxane-based sealant with an oxime curing system. Provides excellent resistance to mould and mildew.
Application Temperature Range: +5°C to +35°C (41°F to 95°F). Ensure surfaces are clean and dry for optimal adhesion. Cure time is approximately 2mm per day at 25°C (77°F) and 50% humidity.
Application Information
- Required Tools: Caulking gun, spatula, masking tape, cleaning cloths, and appropriate cleaners/solvents (e.g., white spirits).
- Trade-Specific Tips: Use a backing rod for joints deeper than 10mm to control depth and ensure proper adhesion. Apply sealant in a continuous bead and tool off with a moistened spatula before skin formation. Mask joint edges for a neater finish and remove tape while the sealant is still wet.
- Common Issues and Solutions: Incomplete curing can occur in totally confined spaces; ensure adequate atmospheric humidity. Poor adhesion results from inadequate surface preparation; clean surfaces thoroughly using the two-wipe process. Discolouration can occur on copper and brass; avoid contact or test beforehand.
Storage and Shelf Life
- Storage Requirements: Store in a cool, dry place between 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F).
- Shelf Life Information: 12 months in original packaging.
- Temperature Considerations: Avoid storing in extreme temperatures to prevent product degradation.
