Diyuk High Temperature Silicone Sealant 1500 C - Black
Restore the safety and efficiency of your heating system with professional-grade 1500°C sealing po...Restore the safety and efficiency of your heating system with professional-grade 1500°C sealing power. When the integrity of your wood burner or flue is at stake, standard sealants simply aren't enough. Our high temperature silicone sealant is a heavy-duty, silicate-based compound rated for 1500°C, perfect for static joints. It provides unrivalled adhesion to hearth materials, making it ideal for sealing flue systems, filling cracks in firebacks, resetting loose firebricks, sealing pizza ovens, and cementing ceramic rope. The sealant applies as a smooth black paste, curing to a matte dark grey/charcoal finish that blends naturally with cast iron and flue pipes. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean and rust-free before application. If applying to porous brick or clay, lightly mist the surface with water to prevent premature drying. After solidification, slowly heat to 250°C to allow the mass to turn dark grey and become extra-hard. Suitable for 310ml standard cartridges.
The Diyuk High Temperature Silicone Sealant is an essential maintenance solution for homeowners with wood burners, pizza ovens, or multi-fuel stoves who need a reliable, professional-grade material to seal static joints and repair fire-exposed surfaces. Rated to withstand extreme heat up to 1500°C, this silicate-based compound offers superior adhesion and a durable, heat-hardened finish that ensures your heating system operates safely and efficiently. While it provides an exceptional bond for static components, users should note that it is not intended for joints subject to constant movement or vibration, as it cures to a rigid, hardened state.

FAQs
Can I use this for stove glass?
No, this is a rigid silicate-based sealant intended for static joints, not for securing stove glass which requires a flexible heat-resistant gasket adhesive.
Is this sealant waterproof?
It is designed for high-heat environments. While it is stable, it is not intended as a weather-proofing sealant for outdoor use.
Does it work on stainless steel flue pipes?
Yes, provided the surface is cleaned of any oils or coatings and is rust-free before application.
How long does it take to cure?
Initial setting occurs relatively quickly, but it must be cured by gradually increasing the heat to 250°C to reach full hardness.
Can I paint over the sealant?
The sealant cures to a natural matte dark grey/charcoal finish that is intended to blend with stoves, so painting is generally unnecessary.
What happens if I heat it too quickly?
Heating too quickly before the material has properly set can cause internal moisture to bubble, potentially leading to cracks in the seal.
Troubleshooting
Sealant is cracking after application
Ensure the substrate was completely clean and free of loose rust. Also, avoid applying too thick a bead in a single pass.
Sealant remains soft after drying
The product requires a gradual heating cycle up to 250°C to finalize the hardening process. Ensure you have properly 'fired' the unit.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify that all dust and debris were removed. On very dry or porous surfaces, ensure a light water mist was applied before the sealant.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Extremely high heat resistance up to 1500°C
Excellent adhesion to hearth materials and cast iron
Easy application with standard caulk guns
Cures to a professional, discreet matte charcoal finish
Cons
Not suitable for joints that require flexibility or movement
Requires a gradual heat-up process to achieve maximum hardness
Surfaces must be meticulously cleaned and rust-free prior to application
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be free of oil, loose rust, soot, and dust. Use a wire brush if necessary to clean metal surfaces.
Application: Load the 310ml cartridge into a standard caulking gun. Apply the paste evenly to the joint or crack.
Moisture Management: If applying to dry clay or porous brick, lightly mist the area with water to ensure optimal adhesion.
Curing and Heating: Allow the material to set naturally. Once set, you must gradually increase the temperature of your stove or appliance to 250°C. This specific heating cycle ensures the sealant hardens fully and reaches its dark grey finish.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect the seal for cracks caused by settling or structural shifts in the fireplace, as the rigid nature of the material may require touch-ups if the hearth material moves.
