MULTIPURPOSE
abe® silicone is a one-part, acetoxy-cure silicone sealant designed for general construction and home use.
Offers strong adhesion and long-term flexibility, even with joint movement and temperature changes. Resistant to weather, UV, ageing, shrinkage, cracking, and discolouration.
Uses
- Sealing around windows and doors
- Bonding glass, metal, and other non-porous surfaces
- Waterproofing in kitchens and bathrooms
- General-purpose sealing in construction and renovation projects
- Suitable for interior and exterior joints exposed to weather
Advantages
- This sealant is easy to apply, won’t sag or slump during use, and resists cracking over time
- It bonds well to porous surfaces like concrete, brick, and plaster
- It’s also suitable for long-term storage without losing performance
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean and free of grease and old glue. Mask smooth surfaces to simplify cleanup.
Bonding/Priming
No primer required.
Mixing
Coverage
Dependent on joint size, approximate coverage is 7.7 m per 280 ml cartridge based on a 6 mm x 6 mm joint.
Application
- Cut the nozzle at an angle and apply the sealant using a caulking gun, pressing firmly to ensure good contact with the surface.
- Use masking tape on both sides of the joint to keep the edges neat and protect surrounding areas
- For better control, start applying the sealant while pulling the gun toward you
- Tool the joint within five minutes using a spatula dipped in mild soapy water
- Remove the masking tape right after tooling
