Properties
Exceptionally flexible silicone. It maintains its flexibility for long offering excellent bonding to non-porous surfaces. It is resistant to mould, also to adverse weather conditions and to the UV radiation. It is also resistant to detergents, acids and salty water. It sets quickly, reacting with moisture, and presents excellent bonding strength and long lasting endurance. It does not crack or flake, even in groutings submitted to intense contractions and expansions.
