DESCRIPTION

CEMIX COLOURED SILICONE is a flexible sealant for use in joints such as wall and floor joints, tiled surface and bench tops, bath edges, cupboards, splashbacks and movement joints. It has great adhesion with ceramic tiles, glass, enamel, aluminium, granite, porcelain and sanitary acrylics. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, CEMIX COLOURED SILICONE is waterproof and is suitable for use in a shower recess. Do not use under waterproofing membranes or in continuous immersion applications such as swimming pools.

TYPICAL APPLICATION/USES

• Apply at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C
• Ensure joints and surfaces are dry, clean and free from grease, soap and water
• Maximum joint width is 30mm and depth 15mm. For joints greater than 10mm deep a backing rod should be used. To achieve a neater finish, or when using unglazed porous tiles, mask joint edges with tape
• Trim end nozzle to obtain correct bead width and place cartridge in applicator gun
• Apply sealant in a steady continuous bead ensuring good contact with both sides of the joint. Tool off with a moistened spatula to finish the joint smoothly before a skin forms (10 mins)
• While the silicone is still wet, clean off any excess. (If joint edges have been masked, remove tape whilst still wet. If the silicone has dried on the surface, clean with white spiritsolvent to soften the silicone then scrape off with a blade.)
• Do not paint over the silicone
