Adheseal N40 is a neutral-cure silicone sealant for metal roofing, flashings, shower joints and general construction weathersealing. Its non-corrosive oxime cure suits compatible aluminium, galvanised steel, Zincalume and Colorbond, while an added fungicide helps inhibit mould growth on the sealant in humid environments.
Choose N40 when a flexible, UV-resistant silicone is needed across roofing, plumbing and wet-area work. The cured joint accommodates ±25% movement. Unlike paintable acrylic sealants, N40 is not paintable.
Where to use N40
-
Metal roofs and gutters: sealing compatible flashings, laps and gutter junctions.
-
Bathrooms and laundries: waterproof sealing of sound tiled corners and fixture junctions.
-
Kitchen and commercial wet areas: non-corrosive sealing on compatible tile, glass and bench surfaces.
-
Marine and vehicle fabrication: weathersealing compatible non-structural assembly seams.
-
Electrical and air-conditioning installations: sealing suitable penetrations and equipment interfaces.
Application and selection
Apply to sound, dry, clean surfaces. Control sealant depth with backing rod and avoid three-sided adhesion. Check adhesion on coatings and sensitive substrates, and allow moisture curing before water exposure. N40 is not intended for structural glazing, mirrors, aquariums, pool immersion, trafficable walkways or polycarbonate sheeting. Test natural stone for staining and be aware of possible discoloration on copper and brass.
