FAQs

What surfaces can I use CT1 on?

CT1 bonds to a wide variety of materials, including metals, glass, wood, concrete, and polystyrene. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on plastics.

Is CT1 suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, CT1 is UV-resistant and can withstand outdoor conditions, including exposure to sunlight and rain.

How long does CT1 take to cure?

Curing time depends on the environment and the thickness of the application. Typically, it takes 24-48 hours for complete curing. Lower temperatures and higher humidity may extend the curing time.

Can I paint over CT1?

Yes, CT1 is paintable once it has fully cured. Use a paint that is compatible with sealant materials.

Is CT1 food safe?

Yes, CT1 is food-safe and can be used in areas where it may come into contact with food.

What is the shelf life of CT1?

The shelf life of CT1 is typically 12-18 months when stored in a cool, dry place.

How do I remove uncured CT1?

Uncured CT1 can be removed with a solvent, such as white spirit or a similar cleaning agent. Be sure to follow safety precautions when using solvents.

Can CT1 be used underwater?

CT1 can be applied in wet conditions, including underwater, making it suitable for marine applications.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive is not sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease. Lightly abrade non-porous surfaces to improve adhesion. Check the expiration date of the sealant.

Sealant is not curing properly.

Make sure the environmental conditions are suitable (temperature and humidity). Allow more time for curing, especially in low-temperature environments. Check that the application layer is not too thick.

Sealant has an odour after application.

Ensure adequate ventilation during and after application. The odour should dissipate as the sealant cures. If the odour persists, it may be a sign of improper application.
