Mapei
Mapei silicone sealants are mold and mildew-resistant suitable for interior and exterior applications. The sealant is solvent-free which is ideal for use underwater. It is also available in a variety of colours and transparent to match the Mapei coloured grouts.
This range of sealants is suitable for use on glass, anodised aluminium, and ceramic. For effective results, combine it with a bonding enhancer. The Mapei range of sealants is highly elastic and can be used for expansion of joints up to ± 25%.
The sealants also have excellent durability and can weather long use as well as exposure to different elements. Their thermal stability allows use at -40°C to +180°C. For best results, after application, finish off with a damp cloth moistened with soapy water before the sealant forms a film.
Mapei Mapesil Silicone can be used for a wide variety of applications. These include sealing joints in floor and wall coverings both ceramic and cemented, sealing joints between sinks, ceramic tiles, and sanitary ware, sealing swimming pool expansion joints, and sealing window and door frame glazing among others.
These sealants are a single component and acetic cross-linking variety. Being a thixotropic paste, the sealant is also easily trowelable vertically and horizontally. The sealant works by cross linking and forming an elastic product after exposure to humidity. The resulting product is waterproof, highly elastic, chemical resistant, and easily workable.
