High-Grade Neutral Cure Silicone
A high-grade neutral (non-corrosive) cure silicone formulated for superior adhesion to cement (e.g., grout). The product also contains a fungicidal protector for excellent mould and fungal resistance.
Features
Superior adhesion to mortar, grout, and metals. As the product does not lift at the edges and adheres so well to cement and grout, dirt, mould, and fungus will not become trapped, preventing unsightly black mould spots.
Superior silicone formulation forms a durable seal that locks out water and does not shrink when drying.
Built-in fungicide to inhibit the growth of mould.
Available in a range of colours to suit most wet areas.
Non-corrosive neutral cure formula.
Low odour, so can be used in any environment without discomfort.
Easy to clean once applied, as it resists moisture, hot cooking oils, and steam.
Superior flexibility with +/- 25% movement capability and up to 400% elongation or stretch.
Temperature resistance: approximately -60°C to +150°C.
25-year guarantee – when used as directed, i.e., for private use and within 12 months of purchase, the product is guaranteed against crumbling, cracking, or drying.

How to use this product
Thoroughly clean and dry the surface from oil, dirt, and grease with Mineral Turpentine first and then Methylated Spirits. Allow to dry completely before applying silicone. If there is old silicone that needs to be removed, we recommend using SELLEYS SILICONE REMOVER. This ingenious product makes removing old silicone easy.
We also recommend sanding the surface back with a good quality sanding block, such as a ROTA COTA Sanding Block Medium/Course Grain, as the silicone will adhere more readily to a scratched-up surface.
Ensure you tape both sides of the gap before applying the product. This ensures a neat finish and makes it easier to clean up.
Cut the seal at the top of the cartridge and cut the nozzle at a 45° angle, to the size of the gap opening. Fit the nozzle to the top of the cartridge.
Insert the cartridge into a caulking gun such as the SELLEYS LIGHT SPEED Caulking Gun. We recommend this caulking gun, as its new innovative pressure release design reduces the mess from run-on and stress on your hands, which is critical if you are doing a lot of sealing.
Hold the caulking gun at a 45° angle. Press the nozzle opening against the joint, apply steady pressure to the caulking gun, and extrude the silicone sealant. Move in a pushing motion along the joint in one smooth action.
For a smooth finish, smooth with a finger dipped in mineral turpentine or, for a professional finish, use a paint scraper such as a 50mm ROTA COTA Soft Grip Scraper dipped in mineral turpentine.
Excess sealant must be cleaned up before it skins in 5-10 minutes. Wipe excess away with a cloth dampened in mineral turpentine or use a SELLEYS Hand Kleen Wipe.
Remove tape before the sealant skins. Clean tools immediately with mineral turpentine.
Avoid smearing on surrounding surfaces.
The sealant will cure fully in 72 hours. At this point, any unwanted sealant can be removed by trimming with a sharp blade, but avoid undercutting the seal.
Handy Tips
Ensure you tape both sides of the gap before applying the product for a neat finish and easy cleanup.
When first applying, extrude a small amount onto a piece of scrap material to ensure a smooth continuous flow of silicone sealant.
Remove the tape before the silicone sealant skins.
For a better finish, complete painting prior to using the sealant as it cannot be painted over.
Use a spatula dipped in mineral turpentine or detergent and water to tool off the sealant for a better finish.
Work in sections that can be completed before the sealant skins. Tooling off and tape removal must be completed before skinning occurs for a better finish.
Keep a pack of SELLEYS Hand Kleen Wipes handy to wipe up spills and clean any material off the skin before it cures.
Safety Tips
Uncured product may irritate eyes. If in eyes, flood the eyes for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
Avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, wipe off immediately and wash with detergent. It may irritate sensitive skin.
Avoid breathing in vapours.
Ensure you use a well-ventilated area as the product releases methyl ethyl ketoxime while curing.
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (AUS 131 126; NZ 0800 764 766) or a doctor.
For further detail on the safe use of this product, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet, which can be downloaded from this site.
Keep away from children.
Storage and Re-Use
Store in cool dry conditions, below 30°C.
The sealant should be used within 6 months after opening.
After use, keep the nozzle on the cartridge. Silicone is a reactive product and cures once exposed to humidity.
For longer storage periods, leave the nozzle on and place plasticene or Blu Tack over the end of the nozzle. Tightly tape a piece of aluminium foil over the whole nozzle to exclude any air.
When re-using, simply remove the foil and plug from the old nozzle, pull out the excess silicone, and re-pierce the tip of the cartridge.
If cure has occurred inside the cartridge, the product is no longer usable and should be discarded.
