Soudal acetate sanitary silicone is used for sealing joints exposed to higher humidity in rooms such as bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens. It is intended for corner joints of tiles, around bathtubs, sinks, shower enclosures, toilets, etc. It is a permanently elastic sealant with a long lifespan. It is characterized by color stability and resistance to mold and UV radiation.
Characteristics of Soudal sanitary silicone:
- Very easy to use,
- color-stable,
- UV resistant,
- remains permanently elastic after curing, with added fungicides providing resistance to mold,
- characterized by a typical acetic odor.
Application 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 substrates: all common sanitary surfaces such as glazed ceramics, porcelain, glass, stainless steel, or aluminum (for PVC and acrylics, use Soudal neutral sanitary silicone). Surface condition: clean, dry, free of grease and dust. Preparation: to increase adhesion on porous materials, use Primer 150. It is recommended to always conduct a preliminary adhesion test.
Working procedure:
Application: with a cartridge gun (manual or pneumatic). Working temperature: +5 °C to +35 °C. Smoothing the surface: with soapy water, Soudal Sealant Surface Smoother. Cleaning: Before curing, it can be cleaned with acetone or White Spirit (lacquer thinner), after curing mechanically and with Soudal Silicone Remover. Repairs: Sanitary silicone.
