Brick & Concrete Silicone
A neutral (non acid) curing, one-part silicone sealant with low modulus for sealing joints in walls, patios and floors.
Uses
Ideal sealant for joints in walls, patios, floors, fencing, windows and expansion joints in concrete. Optimum adhesion is achieved on bricks, concrete, ceramics, fibre cement, marble, stone, metals, wood and most plastics.

Technical Features
- High flexibility to withstand building movement
- Adhesion to sound concrete and similar materials is excellent
- Low modulus results in less strain on concrete
- Forms a durable seal
- Does not shrink when drying
- UV resistance
- Low odour during application
- Non corrosive neutral core formulation
- Remains flexible – will not shrink, crack, crumble or dry out
- Weather resistant
Application Tips
- Can’t be painted over
- Not recommended for below waterline applications
- Do not use in below ground applications
- For deep cracks use a backer rod such as closed cell polyethylene foam or similar, so sealant depth is between 6-12mm
- Damaged sealant can be repaired by applying new sealant directly, after cleaning the damaged area
- For a cleaner appearance mask both sides of joint prior to sealing. Remove tape before sealant skins
- For a better finish complete painting prior to use of sealant as it can not be painted over
- For a smooth finish use a spatula dipped in detergent solution

Consistency (as applied)
Non-slump, solvent free paste
Curing Mechanism
Very rapidly develops rubber consistency by reaction with moisture from the air
Curing Rate
2mm depth per day

10-15 minutes (depending on weather conditions)

Clean Up
Clean all excess sealant from equipment before it cures with a cloth dampened with mineral turpentine or acetone. Once cured sealant is extremely difficult to remove and must be abraded or trimmed with a knife.
Cured sealant can also be removed with Selleys Silicone Remover.
Properly designed joint refers to the accepted concept of correct sealant dimensions, i.e. sealant depth equal to half sealant width and sealant applied over a suitable backing material to which the sealant will not adhere or which does not limit the free movement of the sealant.
