FAQs

Can I paint over CT1 Adhesive & Sealant?

Yes, CT1 Adhesive & Sealant is fully over paintable once it has cured. Allow sufficient time for the sealant to achieve full cure before painting for best results.

Is this product suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. CT1 is UV resistant and offers excellent colour retention, making it perfectly suited for both interior and exterior applications, even in harsh weather conditions.

Can CT1 be used underwater?

Yes, one of the key features of CT1 is its ability to work effectively in wet conditions, including fully underwater and in all saltwater environments, providing strong adhesion and sealing.

Does CT1 shrink or crack over time?

No, CT1 is formulated not to shrink. Its unique composition provides flexibility, ensuring durable and stable results that resist cracking and maintain integrity over the long term.

What kind of materials can CT1 bond?

CT1 offers unique adhesion on virtually any material. This includes wood, metal, glass, concrete, brick, ceramics, most plastics, stone, and rubber, often eliminating the need for additional fixings.

Is CT1 environmentally friendly?

Yes, CT1 is solvent-free and environmentally compliant, making it a responsible choice for your projects.

How do I clean up excess CT1?

While CT1 is still wet, you can clean up excess product with a suitable cleaner like CT1 Multisolve or mineral spirits. Once cured, it is very difficult to remove and may require mechanical means.

Troubleshooting

Poor or uneven adhesion after application

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose debris before application. For very smooth or porous surfaces, consider a quick surface wipe with isopropyl alcohol or a suitable primer if issues persist, though CT1 typically performs well without. Apply consistent pressure to the caulk gun for an even bead.

Sealant appears to be taking too long to cure or remains tacky

Curing time is affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure the application area has adequate ventilation and is within recommended temperature ranges (typically above 5°C). Thicker beads will take longer to cure. Low humidity can also extend cure times.

Sealant is difficult to extrude from the cartridge

Check if the nozzle has been cut to an adequate size. Ensure the internal seal of the cartridge is fully broken. If the product is old or has been stored improperly, it may have partially cured inside the cartridge; check the expiry date. Use a quality caulk gun.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Adhesion: Bonds to virtually any material, reducing the need for mechanical fasteners.
  • Extreme Environmental Resistance: Functions reliably in wet, dry, underwater, and saltwater conditions.
  • UV Stable & Colorfast: Perfect for outdoor use without fading or degrading.
  • Flexible & Non-Shrinking: Maintains integrity and prevents cracking over time.
  • Paintable Surface: Can be easily integrated into painted finishes.
  • Chemical Resistant & Solvent-Free: Safe and durable in harsh environments.

Cons

  • Requires Applicator: Needs a standard caulk gun for application.
  • Cure Time Varies: Full cure time can differ based on humidity and temperature.
  • Info needed: Surface Compatibility: While it adheres to many, some exotic plastics or treated surfaces might require specific primers for best results. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Application

  1. Prepare the Surface: Although CT1 works on wet surfaces, for optimal long-term adhesion, ensure the surfaces are clean, free of dust, grease, and loose particles. For very porous or smooth surfaces, a primer might enhance adhesion, though often not necessary.
  2. Cut the Nozzle: Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead size.
  3. Load into Gun: Place the CT1 cartridge into a standard caulk gun.
  4. Apply: Apply the sealant steadily and evenly, maintaining consistent pressure. For sealing, aim for a continuous bead. For bonding, apply in beads or dots, then press the two surfaces together firmly.
  5. Tooling: If needed, tool the sealant within a few minutes of application using a suitable tool or a wet finger for a smooth finish.
  6. Cure Time: The surface will typically be tack-free within 20-30 minutes, but full cure can take 24-48 hours depending on bead thickness, temperature, and humidity.

Compatibility

CT1 Adhesive & Sealant is compatible with virtually any material, including:

  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Glass
  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Ceramics
  • Most plastics
  • Stone
  • Rubber

It performs exceptionally well in both wet and dry conditions, underwater, and in saltwater environments.

Care & Storage

  • Post-Application: Clean any excess wet sealant immediately with a suitable cleaner or mineral spirits. Once cured, it is much harder to remove.
  • Tool Cleaning: Clean tools with mineral spirits or a dedicated cleaner before the product cures.
  • Storage: Store the cartridge upright in a cool, dry place between +5°C and +25°C (+41°F and +77°F). Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent curing inside the nozzle.
  • Shelf Life: Info needed: [Check product packaging for specific shelf-life instructions.]
