Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Our Sealant Solutions

A

• Silicone waterproof coating can be applied with a spray, brush, or roller.
• Transparent waterproof coating can be applied with a brush or roller.

A Waterproof silicone roof coatings come in various colors.

A

A Almost all types of roofs can be coated. Roof coatings are versatile and can be applied to various roofing materials, including metal, asphalt, and more.

A Apart from waterproofing your roof, roof coatings can reduce your utility costs as most of them have high solar reflectance. This means roof coatings help reflect solar radiation, keeping your home cooler during hot summer days and improving energy efficiency.

A The tack-free time of silicone roof coating is about 30 minutes, and it will take 18 hours to fully cure. Transparent waterproof coating commonly achieves a waterproof effect after 24 hours.

A When stored correctly, the shelf life will be at least 12 months from the date of manufacture. Cartridges should be stored in their original packaging, the correct way up, in cool conditions (50°F to 77°F) and out of direct sunlight.

A 9 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool and dry place.

A Polyurethane sealants typically take 24 to 48 hours to cure fully, depending on the application and environmental conditions.

A

Polyurethane sealants have a wide range of applications, commonly used in:

• Construction (sealing windows, doors, concrete joints, and expansion joints)
• Automotive
• Marine
• Electronics
• Various industrial sectors for sealing and bonding purposes.

A Yes, polyurethane sealants are typically paintable. You should always check the sealant manufacturer's specifications to verify painting instructions. Note that while polyurethane and latex sealants are paintable, if any joint movement occurs, the paint may shrink, creating an unsightly sealant joint. It is recommended to use a sealant color that matches the desired final color.

A 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool and dry place.

A Yes, MS polymer sealants can be painted over, but it is essential to use appropriate paint types for the best adhesion.

A MS polymer sealants excel in flexibility, durability, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and UV resistance compared to other sealants. They are also user-friendly, making them easier to apply and handle.

A No, it will peel off. To achieve a paintable sealant joint indoors, it is important to use a good-quality acrylic sealant.

A Use the following formulation: 300 Where: L = Length of sealant in metres obtained per cartridge.
L = 300 / W*D
W = Width of the joint in mm D = Depth of the joint in mm.
A joint of 5mm width and 5mm depth yields approx. 12.0m per 300ml cartridge
A joint of 4mm width and 4mm depth yields approx. 18.8m per 300ml cartridge

A Colored silicone sealants are tinted with inorganic or organic pigments. Inorganic pigments have limited colors but good weather resistance and are not prone to fading. Organic pigments offer a wide range of colors but have poor weather resistance and fade easily. It is recommended to choose inorganic pigments for tinting to avoid color fading.

A

Silicone sealants can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
Construction
Plumbing
Automotive
Electrical
Household repairs

A For the best adhesion, we recommend removing the old silicone. New silicone will bond to old silicone, but the bond is not as strong as it would be on a clean surface.
