Product Information

Full details

The Everbuild Everflex 500 Bath and Sanitary Silicone in Grey is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking a durable, waterproof seal in high-humidity environments. Its key benefit is a fast-curing, permanently flexible seal with a powerful fungicide to prevent mould. A potential caveat is its acetoxy cure, which may have a strong odor during application.

FAQs

Is this silicone suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is suitable for general weatherproofing applications and sealing around window frames, providing a waterproof seal.

What is the cure time for Everbuild Everflex 500 Silicone?

It cures quickly, typically forming a tack-free surface within minutes and allowing for handling within a short period, with full cure usually achieved within 24 hours depending on bead size and environmental conditions.

Can I paint over this silicone sealant?

This silicone sealant is generally not recommended for painting over. For a paintable finish, consider using a silicone sealant specifically designed for overpainting.

What is the shelf life of the product?

Unopened cartridges typically have a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Why does it smell like vinegar?

This is an acetoxy cure silicone sealant. During the curing process, it releases acetic acid, which has a characteristic vinegar-like odor. This odor will dissipate as the sealant cures.

How do I remove uncured silicone sealant?

Uncured sealant can be wiped away with a damp cloth or suitable solvent. For cured sealant, mechanical removal or a silicone sealant remover is usually required.

Is this sealant safe to use around food preparation areas?

While it is waterproof and easy to clean, it is specifically designed for sanitary applications. Always check product specifications for food contact safety if required for your specific application.

Troubleshooting

Sealant is not adhering well

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old sealant. Re-apply after proper surface preparation.

Sealant has a weak or inconsistent bead

Ensure the nozzle is cut correctly for the desired bead size and that the sealant gun is operated smoothly and consistently.

Vinegar-like odor persists after curing

Ensure adequate ventilation during application and curing. The odor is normal for acetoxy cure silicones and will dissipate over time. If it persists for an extended period, check for trapped moisture or incomplete curing.

Mould appears shortly after application

While the sealant contains fungicide, persistent extreme dampness or poor ventilation can still encourage some growth. Ensure good airflow and clean the area regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old sealant.
  2. Cut the nozzle of the cartridge at an angle to achieve the desired bead width.
  3. Apply the sealant using a standard sealant gun, ensuring a consistent bead.
  4. Smooth the bead immediately after application using a wet spatula or a damp cloth.
  5. Allow the sealant to cure fully before exposing it to water.

Compatibility:

The Everbuild Everflex 500 is compatible with most common building materials including ceramic, porcelain, laminate, metal, timber, and uPVC. It is an acetoxy cure silicone sealant.

Care:

  • Clean any excess uncured sealant with a damp cloth. Cured sealant can be removed mechanically or with a silicone sealant remover.
  • For ongoing maintenance, clean the sealed areas with mild household detergents. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
