About this deal

Acrylic sealant is a sealing material, mainly obtained from water-based acrylic resins. It is not suitable for use in locations subject to direct water exposure. As it is a paintable material, acrylic sealant is an ideal material for interior and exterior decoration. It cures after drying. It is an environmentally friendly material. It provides protection from dust and pests from various surface cavities. Where is Acrylic Sealant Applied? LANGUAGES What is Silicone Sealant and Acrylic Sealant? Where are they used? HOME BLOG What is Silicone Sealant and Acrylic Sealant? Where are they used? Aquarium Silicones: They are generally used in aquarium manufacturing and repair. Being harmless to fish and plants, these silicones adhere perfectly to glass. Akfix 100AQ is used in Aquarium manufacturing and assembly and manufacturing of glass structures. It does not contain chemicals that can harm living beings. Moving on now to silicone sealants, these are the items you most want to use in high-moisture locations such as bathrooms. Probably their most common use is to cover the gaps around newly installed bathtubs. Silicone sealants can handle the small movements that bathtubs tend to make because of how flexible they are. A bit of movement in any direction is not going to cause the silicone sealant to weaken.

Profile. Before the bead has dried, use a smoothing tool like the UniBond Sealant Finishing Tool to smooth it over and force it into the joint or gap to form the best seal possible. This will also remove any excess sealant, which can be scraped off in stages while smoothing the bead over. The one main advantage that acrylic adhesive tends to have over silicone sealant is paint or paintability with various kinds of paints. However, this cannot be said when it comes to silicone sealants. Silicone sealants easily outperform the acrylic counterparts in other areas. For instance, silicone sealants are much more durable than acrylic sealants, as they are more flexible.Let’s start with acrylic sealants. Acrylic sealants are the ones you mainly want to use for the gaps around your windows and door frames. For internal applications ensure that all the surfaces are clean, dry, sound and frost free. Clean all joints thoroughly to ensure that the adhesion of the silicone to the substrate is not impaired. For applications in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, Akfix 100S, with the anti-mold properties, is preferred as gap filling and sealing product. Silicone Sealant is used as the sealing material in installations that require plumbing, roofing and guttering. Akfix 910NRoof and Plumbing Silicone is designed for long-term durability. It is a high performance product for applications such as connection sealing. So how can we choose the most suitable sealants in the face of so many types to achieve product bonding, leak repair, sealing or other purposes?

For "extra flexibility", you can always mix it with silicon, something that is unlikely to happen with other type of sealants. The mixture of acrylic with silicon will reduce its drying time but in general this is something that depends on the weather conditions (humidity temperature) of the exact area. Polysulphide Sealants are designed to seal joints subject to movement where a tough, flexible, watertight seal is required. They offer the best option for expansion joints. The primary objective for all types of sealants is to close a gap. Gaps are problematic because they are spots where air could escape and moisture could gather. It would be best to seal them up as soon as they emerge. Acetoxy cure sealants give off a vinegary odour whilst curing, are generally high modulus and faster curing than neutral cure sealants. Whereas, Neutral cure sealants are low modulus and almost odourless. ModulusIntumescent Sealants are designed for fire retarding constructions and generally have acoustic properties. They are suitable for indoor joints where a fire retardant seal is required to prevent the passage of smoke and vapours. For exterior use, use a fire retardant silicone. To seal small leaks and patch up areas around your home needing attention, we have a selection of repair wraps, tapes, adhesives and tools to complete the job. If you need to seal or repair surfaces that require heat resistance, our range of fire rated sealants are ideal for treating fireplaces, internal flue pipes and boilers. Akfix 915N Neutral Exterior Silicone is a product developed for use in exterior sealing applications, especially for porous and non-porous surfaces. It provides excellent adhesion. For hard to reach areas inside or outdoors, expanding foam is a flexible solution for sealing gaps around pipes and wires, while tough and long-lasting exterior sealants can be used on exterior pipework, roofing, guttering, glazing and frames. Polyurethane Sealants have first rate resistance to water, permanent elasticity under all climate conditions and excellent adhesion to metal and fibreglass; they are most commonly used for car, caravan and mobile home applications. Low Modulus Polyurethane Sealants are also safe to use in aquariums and terrariums, as once they are fully cured harmful solvents have evaporated making them inert.
