Product Benefits:

Acetoxy Cure Silicone: This sealant utilises advanced acetoxy cure technology, ensuring a strong and reliable bond between surfaces. The curing process forms a durable seal that can withstand movement and environmental stress, providing long-lasting protection for your project. The acetoxy cure silicone technology ensures excellent resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. This means that the sealant will not shrink, crack, or become brittle under harsh conditions, ensuring long-term performance.

It offers reliable protection against rain, heat, and UV exposure, allowing for year-round application. With this sealant, you can confidently seal gaps and joints in both interior and exterior applications, knowing that it will maintain its integrity and effectiveness regardless of the weather conditions.
Mould Resistant: Thanks to the added fungicide, this silicone sealant resists mould and mildew growth, making it ideal for use in areas with high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms. The mould-resistant properties ensure a clean and hygienic environment. By inhibiting the growth of mold and mildew, this sealant helps prevent staining, discoloration, and deterioration caused by fungal growth. It provides long-term protection, maintaining its appearance and performance in moisture-prone areas.
Flexible: The flexibility of this silicone sealant enables it to accommodate movement and joint expansion, preventing cracks or breaks in the seal. This feature is vital, particularly in construction applications where movement or settling may occur over time. By maintaining its flexibility, this sealant ensures that the seal remains intact and weathertight, even when subjected to structural movement or vibrations. It helps extend the lifespan of the seal and prevents potential water or air leakage.
For Internal & External Use: Whether you have an indoor or outdoor project, this silicone sealant is suitable for both applications. Its versatility allows for use in a wide range of projects, providing a reliable seal in various environments.

Substrate Suitability:

Soudal Trade Multi Purpose Silicone adheres superbly to most common building substrates, including glass, ceramic, porcelain, metals, stainless steel, and wood.

Soudal Trade Multi Purpose Silicone is not suitable for use on PVC or Concrete.

Please note that this silicone does not provide adhesion on PE, PP, PTFE (Teflon®), and bituminous substrates. We strongly recommend conducting a preliminary compatibility test before applying the sealant to ensure the best results.

Surface Preparation:

To achieve a secure and long-lasting bond, it is crucial to prepare the surfaces properly.

Before applying Soudal Trade Multi Purpose Silicone, make sure the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. For porous surfaces in water-loaded applications, it is essential to prime the surface with Soudal Primer 150.

However, non-porous substrates do not require a primer. Proper surface preparation ensures optimal adhesion and a reliable seal.

Application Method:

Using a caulking gun allows for fast and efficient application of Soudal Trade Multi Purpose Silicone. Follow these step-by-step instructions for the best results:

Cut the nozzle of the cartridge at a 45-degree angle to the desired size. This angle helps control the bead size during application.
Load the cartridge into the caulking gun, ensuring it is securely in place.
Apply consistent pressure on the trigger of the caulking gun to dispense the sealant. Direct the nozzle tip into the joint, filling the gap completely with the silicone sealant.
For optimal results, it is recommended to spray the surface with a soapy solution just before the sealant begins to skin. This step enables easy smoothing of the sealant and ensures a smooth and professional finish.

Finishing:

Once the sealant is applied, it can be smoothly finished using the Soudaglatt Smoothing Tool or a similar tool of your choice. Simply run the tool smoothly along the sealant line to create an even finish.

If a smoothing tool is not available, a wetted finger can be used to achieve a similar effect. Perform the finishing process before the sealant begins to skin, ensuring a neat and tidy appearance.

Coverage of any sealant product varies depending on Joint Width and Joint Depth.

Please refer to our Guide on How To Measure The Number of Tubes Required For the Job.

Joint Dimensions:

Minimum Width for Joints: 5 mm
Maximum Width for Joints: 30 mm
Minimum Depth for Joints: 5 mm
Recommendation Sealing Jobs: Joint Width = 2 x Joint Depth.

Cleaning:

Uncured product can be easily cleaned using Soudal Swipex Cleaning Wipes. For cured sealant, it should be removed mechanically with the aid of Soudal Sealant Remover Spray or Soudal Silicone Remover Gel.

Follow the instructions provided with Soudal Sealant Remover Spray for effective removal.

Remarks:

Because of the acid nature, certain metals (eg copper, lead) can be affected.
Do not use on natural stones like marble, granite etc. as it may cause staining.
Direct contact with the secondary sealing of insulating glass units (insulation) and the PVB-film of safety glass must be avoided.
The sanitary formula should not replace regular cleaning of the joint. Excessive contamination, deposits or soap remaining's will stimulate the development of fungi.
A total absence of UV can cause a colour change of the sealant.
In an acid environment or in a dark room, white silicone can slightly turn yellow. Under the influence of sunlight it will turn back to its initial colour.
When finished with a finishing solution or soapy solution, make sure that the surfaces are not touched by this solution. This will cause the sealant not to adhere to that surface. Therefore we recommend to only dip the finishing tool in this solution.
We strongly recommend not to apply the product in full sunlight as it will dry very fast.
Do not use in applications where continuous water immersion is possible.
Do not use on polycarbonate. Use Soudal Aquafix instead.
