Silicone sealant: the long-lasting waterproofing solution

What is silicone sealant?

Le silicone sealant is a flexible waterproofing material based on silicone polymers, which polymerise to form an elastic, resistant and waterproof material. 
Mainly used for ensure watertightness, make flexible joints or stick permanentlyIt is acclaimed for its excellent performance against humidityto temperature variations and UV. 

It is suitable for a wide variety of environments: bathrooms, kitchens, glazing, industry, outdoor applicationsthanks to its sustainability and its permanent flexibility. 

There are several types of silicone sealants : 

  • Neutral (perfect for glazing and sensitive metals)
  • Acetic (ideal for sanitaryware and ceramics)
  • High temperatures (for extreme environments)

Advantages of silicone sealant

Le silicone sealant has unrivalled technical advantages: 

  • Excellent water, mould and UV resistance. 
  • Durable elasticity without cracking, even under high stress. 
  • Adhesion to a wide range of materials Glass, tiles, metal, aluminium, plastic. 
  • Resistance to extreme temperatures Some silicones can withstand temperatures from -50°C to +250°C. 
  • Easy to apply By the cartridge or in flexible pouches. 
  • Aesthetics Smooth joints in a variety of colours (white, translucent, grey, black, etc.). 

It is therefore the benchmark for flexible, watertight and aesthetic seals in all configurations. 

Building and finishing sector 

It is essential for : 

  • Bathroom and kitchen seals (around baths, washbasins and sinks). 
  • Grouting windows and glazing (against water and air). 
  • Waterproofing exterior joinery (aluminium or PVC doors and windows). 

Industrial and transport sector 

In industry, it is used for : 

  • Gluing components exposed to vibrations. 
  • Tightening industrial equipment. 

Special applications 

Le high-temperature silicone sealant is applied for : 

  • Seals in engines, household appliances (furnaces, boilers) or exhaust systems.

FAQ - Silicone sealant

It's a flexible, durable sealant used to make watertight joints that resist temperature variations, UV rays and humidity, particularly in construction and industry. 

Silicone sealant is mainly used in bathrooms, kitchens, glazing, exteriorsand for applications requiring reliable sealing water, air or weather. 

  • Le acetic sealant gives off a vinegar scent on application and adheres very well to non-porous materials such as ceramics and glass. 
  • Le neutral putty is odourless and ideal for sensitive materials such as metals, plastics and concrete. 

No, most silicone sealants are not paintable. If you want a coloured joint, we recommend using a directly tinted silicone or opting for a hybrid polymer sealant. 

Yes, some specific silicone sealants can withstand temperatures ranging from -50°C to +250°C, and even higher for demanding industrial applications.
