  To view the Ultracolor plus range – please click here.

  USES

  – Perfect for sealing sanitary areas
  – Kitchens
  – Bathrooms
  – Internal Application
  – Ideal for use with ceramics
  – Can be used on wooden frames
  – Can also be used for Expansion Joints

  RECOMMENDATIONS

  – Mapesil AC should not be used in applications between joints of ceramic tiles & natural stone of light colour externally. Use Mapesil LM, which can be viewed here.
  – Should not be used for sealing of surfaces sensitive to acids, such as limestone. Again, use Mapesil LM.
  – Do not use on bituminous surfaces or highly plasticized material.
  – Mapesil AC’s chemical resistance to agents is typically excellent. However, we advise you to check the technical data sheet or do a small test.

  APPLICATION

  All areas needing application must be solid, free from dust and loose particles, oils, grease, wax, old paint and rust. To guarantee the seal can carry out its function, provision should be made for it to compress freely.

  During application, it is, therefore, necessary that:

  – Mapei AC only adheres to the side of the walls of the joint and not to be used at the base of the joint;
  – The estimated maximum extension should be no higher than 25% of the initial width (calculated at +20°C). The joint should be sized with this in mind

  – Joint width and depth must follow as below:

  10mm Width = 10mm Depth

  11mm – 20mm Width = 10mm Depth

  20mm or above Width = Half of the width in depth.

  With the Mapesil AC, cut the cartridge at the end of the thread and screw supplied nozzle on. Ensure the nozzle is cut at an angle and dimension to the corresponding joint. Insert the cartridge into the gun and expel the sealant.

  We have a number of tools on our website that would assist with the application of this product. We would recommend using a PC Cox Skeleton Gun to apply & a Bond-it Tooling Kit to aid in providing a professional finish.

  Dowsil 786 Food Safe Silicone Sealant

  £6.00

  APPLICATIONS

  DOWSIL 786 is one part, flexible; fast curing silicone rubber sealant specifically designed for the sealing of refrigeration units and areas where contact with food is likely. Therefore making it ideal for food

  HOW TO USE

  Surface Preparation

  Ensure that surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, sound and grease-free. Clean with DOWSIL R40 Universal Cleaner or methylated spirits depending on the substrates to be sealed, and dry thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth before application of sealant.

  Note: When using any solvent, always provide adequate ventilation. Avoid heat, sparks and open flames. Observe and follow all precautions listed on the solvent container label. Above all, it is recommended that DOWSIL 786 is not applied to surfaces that are below 5°C.

  Masking

  Areas adjacent to the joints should be masked with tape to prevent contamination of the substrates and to ensure a neat sealant line. After that, masking tape should be removed immediately after tooling.

  Priming

  Primer is not required on most common nonporous substrates, including vitreous enamel, ceramics, porcelain, glazed tiles, etc. However, for some metals and plastics, priming is required. For more information, please refer to the technical data sheet attached or contact Dow Corning.

  Back-Up Materials

  Where back-up material is required closed cell polyethene backer rod is recommended. Low tack polyethene tape should be used in joints too shallow to allow the use of the backer rod.

  Finishing

  The joint should be tooled within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate. Tooling of the sealant also gives a smooth, professional finish.

  Clean-Up

  The excess sealant may be cleaned off tools and non-porous surfaces while in an uncured state using DOWSIL R40 Universal Cleaner. The cured sealant may be removed with the aid of
  DOWSIL Silicone Sealant Remover, abrasion or other mechanical means. However, care should be taken not to damage plastic surfaces.

  LIMITATIONS

  DOWSIL 786 Silicone Sealant should not be applied to porous surfaces such as stone or concrete, or to easily corroded metals such as lead or copper. DOWSIL 786 should
  not be used against surfaces that bleed oils, plasticisers or solvents. Also, contact Geocel’s Technical Services Department for further advice on specific applications.
