About this deal

Flexible and Durable: Maintains its bond even under extreme conditions, including vibrations and thermal expansion. In the image above, the CT1 clear sealant old formula is the one on the far right whereas their new formula is the 2nd from the right. As can be seen in the image, the CT1 clear sealant new formula turned white both below and above the water line whereas the old formula of CT1 sealant clear only turned white below the water line. CT1 was introduced in 1998 by C-TEC, a UK-based corporation. It was created as a one-of-a-kind hybrid polymer formulation to satisfy diverse bonding and sealing needs in construction and DIY projects. Sealing Windows and Sunroofs: Its resistance to UV rays and extreme temperatures makes it an excellent choice for automotive applications.

Instant repair and bonding with fiberglass and carbon fibre materials perfect for emergency repairs Cheaper clear silicone and mastics can appear almost white instead of truly clear. In contrast, Adiseal Ultra Clear maintains a crystal-clear appearance both when applied and after drying. Silicone clear is cloudy compared to Adiseal Ultra Clear which is crystal clear.

CT1 Black

UV resistant and Scientifically proven to have excellent colour retention – white stays white and clear stays clear Both products were applied to new clean plastics cups then filled with tap water half way. They were then both covered by plastic to make sure the cups were sealed. Both cups were kept next to each other in a dark location at room temperature (cool). This clear test in water was started on 13/07/23. The image was taken on 06/08/23 after the water was removed. The lot number of the CT1 sealant clear was 3843320 which we were told by C-Tec was manufactured in April 2023. The batch number of the Adiseal sealant ultra clear was 2253-0927. Adiseal Ultra Clear is the top choice, staying exceptionally clear even when submerged in water. In a rigorous test, it was the only product to remain transparent both in and above water. We placed sealants and mastics from various manufacturers in clean plastic cups, filled them halfway with water, and covered them with plastic sheets for consistent conditions. The test results, shown below, highlight Adiseal Ultra Clear’s unmatched performance. Test results for clear sealant in water. Adiseal has stayed the clearest sealant. Yes, CT1 can be painted over once it has fully cured. It’s important to allow the sealant to dry completely, which typically takes about 24 hours, before applying paint. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before painting, and use a suitable paint that is compatible with the type of material you’ve applied CT1 to. How long does it take for CT1 to cure?

Immediately after applying the sealant, use a sealant tool or a moistened finger to smooth and shape the bead. This helps ensure proper adhesion and creates a neat finish. Remove any excess sealant.Adiseal excels at instantly sealing roofs, even in rainy conditions. It is highly versatile and can effectively seal various types of roofing materials. Whether you need it for emergency repairs or permanent fixes, Adiseal is a reliable choice.

Over the years, C-TEC has expanded its product line to include variations of CT1, such as CT1 Clear, CT1 Power Grab ‘n’ Bond, and others, each tailored to specific applications. As well as Adiseal adhesive sealant being better than CT1 sealant adhesive in numerous ways, Adiseal products are also lower priced than CT1 products. CT1 product Works in wet and dry conditions ideal for marine and boat maintenance as suitable for all salt water environments Adiseal Ultra Clear is a versatile waterproof sealant for both interior and outdoor use. Its flexibility and adaptability suit various sealing and bonding applications. With UV resistance, it maintains clarity and performance under sunlight, making it reliable for roof sealing and gutter repairs. It creates a transparent and seamless finish that effectively protects roofs from water damage. When you use CT1 in your application, you’re guaranteed superb results. This is because CT1 is made with our unique TRIBRID® Technology, meaning that its core structure is three times more powerful than regular sealants in the market. Its strength is 360% stronger and more durable than other hybrid polymers. This means that CT1 is all you need for any job or application because it makes other products completely redundant.In our comparison test between CT1 sealant clear and Adiseal Ultra Clear, Adiseal emerged as the superior product. When applied, Adiseal displayed a higher level of clarity compared to CT1 clear. Furthermore, even after drying, Adiseal maintained its superior clarity in comparison to CT1. In a previous independent adhesive strength test conducted by Ultimate Handyman, the test compared the old formulas of CT1 and Adiseal in a metal-to-metal adhesive strength test. The results showed that the old formula of CT1 broke at 148 psi, while the old formula of Adiseal broke at 201 psi. This test clearly demonstrated that even the old formula of Adiseal outperformed the old formula of CT1 in terms of bond strength. The new formula of Adiseal exhibited even greater strength, breaking at 245 psi in the metal-to-metal test. Furthermore, Adiseal achieved an astonishing 3123 + psi in the wood-to-metal test without breaking. C-TEC has another CT1 grab adhesive with higher grab called CT1 Power Grab n Bond. Both CT1 Power Grab n Bond (PGNB) & Adiseal Hi-Grab are products with even higher instant grab adhesive. This polymer is well-known for its versatility and effectiveness in a wide range of applications. It is intended to bond and seal a wide range of materials, including metals, wood, glass, plastics, and others. It is also water resistant, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use.

Both products were applied to new clean plastics cups then filled half way with tap water. They were then both covered by plastic to make sure the cups were sealed. Both cups were kept next to each other in a dark location at room temperature (cool). This mould resistance test was started on 13/07/23. The image was taken on 06/08/23 after the water removed. The lot number of the CT1 sealant white was 3941754 which we were told by C-Tec was manufactured in February 2023. The batch number of the Adiseal sealant adhesive white was 3250560. Bodywork Repairs: CT1 is perfect for repairing bodywork, providing a strong and flexible bond even in high-stress areas. Although CT1 adhesive was not tested by Ultimate Handyman in the above adhesive strength test, he did test the old formula of both CT1 adhesive and Adiseal adhesive in a previous adhesive strength. In that test, the old formula of Adiseal adhesive was shown to be stronger than the old formula of CT1 adhesive. As can be seen in the image, Adiseal is better than CT1 in the clear sealant test in water. CT1 sealant clear has turned white above and below the water line whereas Adiseal ultra clear sealant has remained clear. CT1 sealant turned more white where it was exposed to the water below the water line. Both products were kept in the same water for 24 days.In an independent adhesive strength test conducted by Ultimate Handyman, Adiseal emerged as the strongest adhesive, displaying an impressive strength that was over three times greater than its closest competitor. Its exceptional performance was so robust that the screws securing the test rig began to tear out under the pressure of the hydraulic ram, forcing the test on Adiseal to be prematurely concluded. If you’re looking for a powerful sealant and adhesive that retains its colour without turning yellow in the future, you’ve come to the right place.
