This professional-grade, contractor-grade silicone sealant in black is ideal for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable, waterproof seal for interior and exterior applications. Its key benefit lies in its versatility, functioning as both a sealant for sanitary ware and a strong adhesive for trims and panels. A potential caveat is its specific black color, limiting aesthetic choices for some projects. Key features include its waterproof nature, anti-mould properties, and enhanced flexibility.

This is a silicone sealant and is generally not paintable once cured. For areas requiring painting, consider an acrylic or hybrid sealant.
Unopened cartridges typically have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight.
The sealant typically skins over in 10-20 minutes and is fully cured in approximately 24 hours, depending on bead size and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).
This sealant is designed for sanitary and general-purpose sealing. It is not rated for high-temperature applications found around cookers or ovens. Use a high-temperature sealant for such applications.
LMA typically stands for Low/Medium/Acidic cure, referring to the curing mechanism of the silicone. This formulation is designed for specific adhesion properties.
Dried silicone sealant can often be removed mechanically using a sharp blade or scraper. For stubborn residue, specialized silicone sealant removers may be used, followed by cleaning the surface.
Ensure the cartridge's inner seal is fully pierced and the silicone gun is properly engaged with the cartridge.
Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or previous sealant. Ensure compatibility with the substrate.
Practice applying a consistent bead with the cartridge gun. Use a smoothing tool immediately after application for a clean finish. Wipe away excess with a damp cloth before curing.
While formulated with anti-mould properties, persistent issues may indicate underlying ventilation problems or excessive moisture. Ensure the area is adequately ventilated. Clean affected areas as per product instructions.
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant. Pierce the inner seal of the cartridge and fit it into a standard silicone gun. Cut the nozzle at an angle to achieve the desired bead size.
Compatibility: This sealant is suitable for use on a variety of common building materials including ceramics, glass, aluminum, and painted surfaces. For specific or challenging materials (e.g., plastics, metals), test adhesion in an inconspicuous area first or consult the manufacturer's data sheet. It is not recommended for use on asphalt, bitumen, or certain types of natural stone where staining could occur.
Care: Apply the sealant in a continuous bead. Smooth the bead immediately after application using a wet finger, spatula, or smoothing tool. Clean up any excess sealant with a damp cloth before it cures. Once cured, remove any residual sealant mechanically.
