- Preparation
Working Conditions: Only apply at temperatures between +5°C and +40°C.
Surface Requirements:The surface must be dry, clean and free of dust, rust, paint and grease. Prime synthetics with Silicon Primer.
Synthetics must first be roughened.
Preliminary Surface Treatment: For a good result, cover the joint’s
edges with masking tape. If necessary, prevent three-sided
bonding by filling the joint with a foam backer rod or PE film.

Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Area
- Field Of Application
Suitable for sealing seams, joints and gaps, e.g., in bathrooms, showers, toilets and kitchens. Bonds, among other things, to (glazed) tiles, enamel, ceramics, various metals (aluminum / stainless steel) and glass. Not suitable for acrylic, PVC, marble, natural stone, bitumen, PE, PP, PTFE. In acrylic bathtubs, synthetic shower bases and shower walls use GRIFFON Silicone Sealant S-200. Not suitable for acrylics, PVC, bitumen, polyethylene, polypropylene and PTFE.
- Application
Coverage: Content suitable for approx. 8 to 15 m (depending on
the diameter of the joint).
Directions for use:_x001c_
Ensure a minimum joint width of 6 mm and a maximum of
20 mm. The joint depth depends on the joint width. Keep a
joint depth of 6 mm up to a joint width of 12 mm. Beyond
that, the joint depth should be half the joint width. Apply the
sealant evenly and smooth it within 10 minutes with a mild soap
solution (use GRIFFON Silicone Finish and Multi-tool). Remove
the applied masking tape immediately after tooling. After
approx. 15 minutes, a surface skin will form. Cured silicone
sealant can only be removed mechanically.
Stains/residue:_x001c_Immediately remove stains with white spirit.
The cured sealant can be removed either mechanically or with
GRIFFON silicone sealant residue remover.
Advice:_x001c_In acrylic bathtubs, synthetic shower bases and shower
walls use GRIFFON Silicone Sealant S-200.
Points of attention:_x001c_Silicone hardens under the influence
of humidity. Contact with humidity is therefore absolutely
necessary during curing. Alijd consider a joint of at least 6 mm
wide. By applying masking tape along the joints completely
smooth seams are achieved, remove the tape immediately after
smoothing. The sealant is loadable with water after 2 hours;
however, do not touch or load mechanically.
