Perfect for a Variety of Applications
BAL Grout Effect Silicone Sealants are designed for a wide range of uses, including:
- Sealing Movement Joints and Perimeter Joints: Ideal for internal and external corners, movement joints, and perimeter joints, ensuring flexibility and durability where you need it most.
- Matching Grout Colours: Colour-matched to Micromax3 ECO Grouts, these sealants provide a consistent look for your project, eliminating the need for separate sealant colours and simplifying the finishing process.
- Protecting Against Mould and Mildew: With built-in antimicrobial protection, these sealants are perfect for wet areas, preventing unsightly and unhealthy mould growth.
Easy Application and Quick Curing
Applying BAL Grout Effect Silicone Sealants is straightforward:
- Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Non-porous surfaces should be degreased with white spirit or a non-oily solvent.
- Application: Cut the tip of the cartridge, attach the nozzle, and place it in a caulking gun. Apply a steady bead of sealant to the required area, smoothing down once to achieve the best matt effect.
- Tooling: Smooth the silicone with a wet silicone tool or spatula within 15 minutes of application. For best results, avoid excessive use of tooling lubricants as they may affect adhesion.
- Curing: Allow the sealant to cure fully—approximately 24 hours per 3mm thickness.
Note: For maximum matt finish, smooth the silicone only once. Repeated smoothing will reduce the matt effect.
Important Considerations
- Not Suitable for Aquaria: BAL Grout Effect Silicone Sealants are not recommended for use in aquariums or with lime-based cements, mortars, or copper-based metals.
- Surface Requirements: Ensure wood surfaces are painted before application, and avoid applying to wet surfaces for best adhesion results.
