Is Bath-Mate a silicone?
No, it is a water-based sanitary sealant. That makes it low odour and easy to clean up with water, though a silicone such as S3 flexes and resists water better in heavy wet areas.
Will it resist mould?
Yes, it is fungal resistant and resists mould and staining in bathroom and kitchen use. For permanently wet shower trays, choose Xtreme anti-mould silicone.
What does it stick to?
Plastic, ceramic tiles and porcelain, which covers most bathroom and kitchen fittings. Surfaces must be clean, dry and grease free.
How do I get a neat line?
Tool the bead within a few minutes with a wetted finishing tool, and wipe excess with water before it skins.
When should I choose a silicone instead?
For showers, wet rooms and areas of constant water or heavy condensation, a sanitary silicone like S3 or Xtreme gives a longer-lasting, more flexible seal.
Single or box of 25?
Buy one cartridge for a single job, or the trade box of 25 for regular bathroom and kitchen work.
