Soudal acetate sanitary silicone is designed for sealing joints exposed to increased humidity in areas such as bathrooms, toilets, or kitchens. It is suitable for corner joints of tiles, around bathtubs, sinks, shower cabins, toilets, etc. It is a permanently elastic sealant with a long lifespan. It is characterized by resistance to mold, color stability, and resistance to UV radiation.
Characteristics of Soudal sanitary silicone:
- Very easy to use,
- color stable,
- UV resistant,
- after curing remains permanently flexible with fungicides providing mold resistance,
- characterized by a typical acetic smell.
Uses of Soudal sanitary silicone:
- Sealing in sanitary rooms and kitchens,
- sealant glazing work,
- sealing construction joints in humid environments,
- sealing air conditioning systems.

Surfaces:
Suitable surfaces: all common sanitary materials such as glazed ceramics, porcelain, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. (for PVC and acrylics use Soudal Neutral sanitary silicone). Surface condition: clean, dry, free of grease and dust. Preparation: to enhance adhesion to porous materials use Primer 150. It is recommended to always perform a preliminary adhesion test.
Procedure:
Application: with a caulking gun (manual or pneumatic). Working temperature: +5 °C to +35 °C. Smoothing the surface: with soapy water, Soudal Surface Smoothing Agent. Cleaning: Before curing can be cleaned with acetone or White Spirit (paint thinner), after curing mechanically and with Soudal Silicone Remover. Repairs: Sanitary silicone.
