The Everbuild Everflex 200 Contractors Silicone in Translucent is a cost-effective, acetoxy cure sealant ideal for general waterproofing, sanitary, and gap sealing applications for both interior and exterior use. Its key benefit is providing a permanently flexible, watertight seal with anti-fungal properties to prevent mould growth, making it excellent for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. A caveat to consider is its acetoxy cure, which releases acetic acid and may not be suitable for all sensitive materials or unpainted surfaces where acid etching could be a concern.

Acetoxy cure means the sealant releases acetic acid (vinegar smell) as it cures. This method provides good adhesion and quick curing on non-porous surfaces but can be corrosive to some metals and alkaline materials. It's generally not recommended for natural stone due to potential etching.
Yes, the Everbuild Everflex 200 Contractors Silicone is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, offering a durable and waterproof seal against weather elements.
The curing time depends on temperature, humidity, and bead size. Typically, it forms a skin within minutes and can be handled within 1-2 hours. Full cure, to achieve maximum adhesion and water resistance, usually takes 24-48 hours.
No, silicone sealants are generally not designed to be painted over. Paint typically adheres poorly to silicone. If a painted finish is required, consider using a paintable sealant or ensure the silicone is applied only where it will remain visible.
This sealant offers a flexibility of +/- 12%, meaning it can accommodate joint expansion and contraction up to 12% of the joint width without losing its integrity.
Uncured silicone can usually be wiped away with a cloth dampened with white spirit. For stubborn residue, a dedicated silicone remover may be necessary.
While it has anti-fungal properties suitable for kitchens, it is not specifically rated as food-safe. It is best to avoid direct contact with food and use food-grade sealants in areas where this is a concern.
Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old sealant. Degrease non-porous surfaces before application.
Check if the product has expired or been stored incorrectly. Ensure you are using a suitable, high-quality sealant gun. Low temperatures can also increase viscosity; try warming the cartridge slightly.
Practice applying a consistent bead on a scrap surface. Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly for the joint size. Use a smoothing tool immediately after application for a professional finish.
This often indicates poor surface preparation or incompatibility with the substrate. Re-apply after thorough cleaning and ensure compatibility with the surface type.
While the product has anti-fungal properties, persistent mould may indicate inadequate ventilation or excessive moisture. Clean the affected area with a mild bleach solution and ensure better ventilation.
