FAQs

What surfaces can Bondit WP70 be used on?

It adheres well to a variety of surfaces including glass, aluminum, painted surfaces, uPVC, and most common building materials. It is suitable for both interior and exterior use.

Can this sealant be painted over?

This product is not designed to be painted over. Its high-gloss finish is intended to be the final appearance.

What is the difference between neutral cure and acetoxy cure silicone?

Neutral cure silicones, like WP70, release a non-acidic vapor (oxime) as they cure, making them safer for use on sensitive materials like metals and concrete. Acetoxy cure silicones release acetic acid, which can be corrosive.

How long does it take for the sealant to fully cure?

The cure rate is approximately 3mm per day at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. It skins over in less than 30 minutes.

Can I apply this sealant in cold weather?

The recommended application temperature range is +5°C to +40°C. Applying outside this range may affect adhesion and curing performance.

Is this sealant suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the Bondit WP70 has mould resistance due to an integrated fungicide, making it ideal for use in humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

What is the shelf life of the sealant?

Typically, unopened cartridges have a shelf life of 12-18 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. Always check the packaging for specific expiry dates.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not adhering well

Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants like dust, grease, or old sealant before application. Verify application temperature is within the recommended range (+5°C to +40°C).

Sealant skinning too quickly

Work in smaller sections if necessary. Ensure the sealant is applied steadily and tool it within the specified 5-10 minute tooling time. Avoid excessive disturbance of the applied bead.

Poor finish after tooling

Use a damp (not wet) tool or spatula for smoothing. Practice tooling on a scrap piece first. Ensure the tool is the correct shape for the desired bead profile.

Mould developing on the seal

While the sealant has mould resistance, persistent high humidity and poor ventilation can still encourage growth. Clean affected areas with a mild detergent. Ensure adequate ventilation in the area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UV and weather resistance for durability
  • Mould resistant formulation suitable for damp areas
  • Permanently elastic to accommodate joint movement
  • Fast curing reduces project time
  • High-gloss finish provides a professional look

Cons

  • Requires specific application temperature range (+5°C to +40°C)
  • Neutral cure may have slower initial set than acetoxy types
  • Not suitable for joints with extreme movement beyond its elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant.
  2. Cut the nozzle tip to the desired bead size.
  3. Load the cartridge into a suitable sealant gun.
  4. Apply an even bead of sealant to the joint, ensuring full contact.
  5. Tool the sealant within 5-10 minutes using a damp tool or spatula to achieve a smooth, neat finish.

Compatibility:

Bondit WP70 is compatible with a wide range of common building materials including glass, aluminum, painted surfaces, uPVC, and most plastics. It is suitable for use on both interior and exterior applications. Avoid contact with incompatible materials like certain porous stones or reactive metals if unsure.

Care:

Clean any uncured excess sealant immediately with a damp cloth. Once cured, the sealant can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on the cured sealant.
