When should sanitary silicone be used?
Sanitary silicone is a sealant that is actually used almost everywhere. Indeed, it is necessary 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 also contains substances with bactericidal and fungicidal properties. It is also important that manufacturers increasingly add dyes in various colors to sanitary silicones. Thanks to this, you can adapt the filling to the character and aesthetics of the interior. Sanitary silicone works particularly well in bathrooms, toilets, but also in kitchens.
It should be used wherever finishes or joints are exposed to water. Silicone mass is also used to seal construction or expansion joints. Unlike, for example, traditional silicone, it has strong fungicidal properties and prevents the reproduction of bacteria and mold. It is also resistant to rinsing, so it can be used around bathtubs or shower trays. It has good adhesion and dries quickly. By making the gaps with sanitary silicone, you don't have to worry that water will penetrate the wall and cause mold to grow. Sanitary silicone has strong adhesive properties. It can also be used to grout joints between kitchen countertops and the wall.
What is the division of sanitary silicones?
There are two types of sanitary silicones. Taking into account the method of hardening, we distinguish:
- neutral sanitary silicone - it has antifungal properties. Perfect for sealing gaps between elements, e.g. wood or plastic. Basically, it can be used for all materials because it does not react with them. It does not cause discoloration.
- acidic silicone - has a characteristic vinegar smell that appears during hardening. You should also know that this silicone is extremely resistant 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 joints.
