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.

Is N40 suitable for metal roofing?
Yes. Its neutral-cure chemistry is non-corrosive and suits zincalume, Colourbond, aluminium and galvanised metal.

Can N40 be used in swimming pools?
Do not install it for underwater pool applications. Once fully cured it is rated for below-waterline applications, but it is not an aquarium sealant.

Can N40 be painted?
No. Cured N40 silicone is not paintable.

What movement can N40 accommodate?
Physical-property testing records up to ±30% movement, with ±25% joint movement used for service design.

Neutral-cure silicone for roofing, plumbing, wet areas, marine work and general industrial sealing. Non-corrosive oxime cure suits galvanised steel, zincalume, Colourbond and other sensitive metals. Provides high elastic recovery and up to ±30% movement in physical-property testing, with ±25% service joint movement. Service temperature range is -50°C to +150°C after cure. Contains fungicide to inhibit fungal growth in hot, humid environments.
Apply between 5°C and 40°C to clean, dry, structurally sound joints. New concrete must cure for at least 28 days. Use backing rod or release tape to prevent three-sided adhesion. For joints deeper than 10mm use backing rod about 25% larger than the joint width. Use a 2:1 width-to-depth ratio. Internal joints start at 5mm width and depth. External joints start at 10mm width, with maximum joint width 30mm and maximum depth 15mm. Use Adheseal Primer 50A on non-porous substrates and Everflex Supaprime on porous substrates where priming is required. Push the bead ahead of a 45-degree nozzle and tool within about 15 minutes before skin formation.
Do not use in totally confined spaces or as an aquarium sealant. Do not use for structural glazing, mirror bonding or composite-panel bonding. Do not install in underwater applications such as swimming pools. Once fully cured, the product is rated for below-waterline applications. Do not use on horizontal walkways or trafficable joints. Do not use on polycarbonate. Copper and brass may discolour. Do not paint cured N40. Stain-test natural stone before use. Do not expose curing sealant to cleaning agents or solvents that may affect or discolour it.
  • Glazed and unglazed ceramic tile, porcelain and enamel.
  • Glass, aluminium, zincalume, Colourbond and galvanised metal.
  • Timber, fibreglass and laminated kitchen benches.
  • PVC and other compatible common building surfaces.
