Description
Everbuild General Purpose Silicone is a high modulus silicone sealant that adheres to most smooth and non-porous materials. Contains an anti-fungal compound to prevent mould growth in areas of high humidity. Forms a permanently flexible rubber seal.
Recommended Uses
- Sealing around baths, showers, basins and other sanitary ware.
- As an adhesive for fixing PVCu trims, cladding and panels.
- Sealing around worktops and laminates.
- For aluminium gutter sealing.
- General draught proofing.
Features
- Permanently flexible.
- Anti-fungal formula.
- Quick curing – low dirt pick up.
- Low viscosity for fast application.
- High strength waterproof seal.
Preparation
- All surfaces must be clean, dry and dust free.
- All loose or flaking surface coatings, and old sealant and mastic joints, should be removed before application.
- Glass, steel and aluminium should be cleaned with a proprietary solvent prior to application for optimum adhesion.
- Porous surfaces may require priming – a small area should be tested first.
Application
- Reference should be made to the recommended joint ratios. If necessary reduce joint depth using expanding foam, or joint backer rod.
- Furthermore, ensure that the joint design only permits adhesion to two surfaces, as three sided adhesion will impair flexibility.
- Cut the tip of the cartridge taking care not to damage the thread.
- Apply nozzle and cut cleanly at an angle of 45° with an opening slightly larger than the gap to be sealed.
- Apply using a standard sealant gun.
- Best results will be obtained by keeping an even pressure on the gun trigger and keeping the gun at a constant angle to the surface being sealed.
- Smooth down within 15 minutes of application.
- To ensure a proper bond, always smooth Everbuild General Purpose Silicone down using a spatula or piece of wood wetted with a soap
and water solution. - An improved appearance can be achieved by placing masking tape to both sides of the joint and removing within 5 minutes of application.
