Applications
Suitable for:
Suitable for sealing seams, joints and gaps, e.g., in bathrooms, showers, toilets and kitchens. Bonds, among other things, to (glazed) tiles, enamel, ceramics, various metals (aluminium / stainless steel) and glass. Not suitable for acrylic, PVC, marble, natural stone, bitumen, PE, PP, PTFE. In acrylic bathtubs, synthetic shower bases and shower walls use GRIFFON Silicone Sealant S-200.
Not suitable for:
Not suitable for acrylics, PVC, bitumen, polyethylene, polypropylene and PTFE.
Handling
Before use:
Working conditions
Only apply at temperatures between +5°C and +40°C.
Surface requirements
The surface must be dry, clean and free of dust, rust, paint and grease. Prime synthetics with Silicon Primer. Synthetics must first be roughened.
Preliminary surface treatment
For a good result, cover the joint’s edges with masking tape. If necessary, prevent three-sided bonding by filling the joint with a foam backer rod or PE film.
Coverage
Content suitable for approx. 8 to 15 m (depending on the diameter of the joint).
During use:
Handling of packaging
Use sealant gun to handle cartridge. Open the cartridge by cutting off the plastic nipple on the top side at the screw thread with a sharp knife. Screw on the nozzle and chamfer at the desired width.
Directions for use
Ensure a minimum joint width of 6 mm and a maximum of 20 mm. The joint depth depends on the joint width. Keep a joint depth of 6 mm up to a joint width of 12 mm. Beyond that, the joint depth should be half the joint width. Apply the sealant evenly and smooth it within 10 minutes with a mild soap solution (use GRIFFON Silicone Finish and Multi-tool). Remove the applied masking tape immediately after tooling. After approx. 15 minutes, a surface skin will form. Cured silicone sealant can only be removed mechanically.
Advice
In acrylic bathtubs, synthetic shower bases and shower walls use GRIFFON Silicone Sealant S-200.
Points of attention
Silicone hardens under the influence of humidity. Contact with humidity is therefore absolutely necessary during curing. Alijd consider a joint of at least 6 mm wide. By applying masking tape along the joints completely smooth seams are achieved, remove the tape immediately after smoothing. The sealant is loadable with water after 2 hours, however, do not touch or load mechanically.
After use:
Stains/residue
Immediately remove stains with white spirit. The cured sealant can be removed either mechanically or with GRIFFON silicone sealant residue remover.
Storage conditions
Store in properly sealed packaging in a dry place at between +5°C and +25°C.
