When should sanitary silicone be used?
Sanitary silicone is a sealant that is used almost at every turn. It is indeed essential for filling all kinds of joints or filling gaps. It is worth remembering that these synthetic organosilicon polymers have a siloxane structure. At the same time, in addition to silicon compounds, the composition includes substances with bactericidal or fungicidal properties. It is not without significance that manufacturers increasingly often add dyes in various colors to sanitary silicones. Thanks to this, you can adapt the filling to the character or aesthetics of the interior. Sanitary silicone works particularly well in bathrooms, toilets, but also in kitchens.
It should be used wherever the finish or joints are exposed to water. Silicone mass is also used to seal construction or expansion joints. Unlike traditional silicone, it has strong fungicidal properties and prevents the growth of bacteria or mold. It is also resistant to washing out, so it can be used around bathtubs or shower trays. It has good adhesion and dries quickly. Thanks to the use of sanitary silicone, there is no need to worry about water penetrating the wall and causing mold growth. Sanitary silicone has strong adhesive properties. It can also be used to grout joints between kitchen countertops and walls.
What is the division of sanitary silicones?
There are two types of sanitary silicones. Considering the method of hardening, we distinguish:
- neutral sanitary silicone - it has antifungal properties. It is perfect for sealing gaps between elements, e.g. made of wood or plastic. It can be used for all materials in principle, as it does not react with them. It also does not cause discoloration.
- acidic silicone - has a characteristic smell of vinegar, which appears during hardening. You should also know that this silicone is characterized by extremely high resistance to both high temperature and moisture. However, it will not work for some metals. It has stronger antifungal properties than neutral sanitary silicone. It cannot be used for cement or concrete connections.
