FAQs
Can I use CT1 on wet surfaces?
Yes, CT1 is formulated to work effectively in both wet and dry conditions, making it highly versatile for various applications.
Is CT1 safe to use for a fish tank or aquarium?
Yes, CT1 can be successfully used as a fish tank sealant. It's safe and effective for this purpose.
Can I paint over CT1 sealant once it's cured?
Yes, the CT1 sealant can be painted over as required, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your decor.
What materials can CT1 bond effectively?
CT1 bonds a wide range of materials including all metals, glass, mirrors, all woods, MDF, polystyrene, fiberglass, tiles, concrete, most stones (without staining), and most synthetic materials and plastics.
Does CT1 shrink or crack over time?
No, CT1 is designed not to shrink and possesses unique flexibility, ensuring a long-lasting and crack-free seal or bond.
Is CT1 environmentally friendly and safe to use indoors?
Yes, CT1 is environmentally compliant, odourless, and does not contain solvents, making it suitable and safer for interior use.
Which types of plastics are NOT compatible with CT1?
CT1 is not suitable for bonding Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plastics.
What is 'TRIBRID Technology'?
TRIBRID Technology refers to CT1's unique formulation that combines the best properties of various polymers to create an all-in-one sealant and adhesive with superior strength, flexibility, and durability compared to traditional hybrid polymers.
Troubleshooting
Sealant not adhering properly to a surface.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and free of any dust, grease, oil, or loose particles before application. For very smooth or difficult surfaces, a test patch is recommended.
Mould appearing in sealed areas despite anti-mould properties.
While CT1 is anti-mould, persistent high humidity and poor ventilation can still lead to mould growth over time. Ensure adequate ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens. Clean affected areas with appropriate mould remover.
Sealant bead appears uneven or messy after application.
Ensure the nozzle is cut at a 45-degree angle to the appropriate bead size for the gap. Tool the sealant immediately after application with a smoothing tool or a finger moistened with a mild detergent solution to achieve a neat finish.
Product not bonding to a plastic material.
Check if the plastic material is Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), or Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as CT1 is not compatible with these specific plastics. For other plastics, ensure the surface is clean and consider a small test area first.
Sealant taking longer than expected to cure.
Curing time can be affected by ambient temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the applied bead. Ensure good ventilation, and if possible, maintain a moderate temperature. Thicker beads will take longer to cure completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation and application are key to maximizing the performance and longevity of CT1 Silver TRIBRID Multi-Purpose Sealant & Adhesive.
Setup Instructions:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry or wet (but free from standing water), and free from dust, grease, oil, and loose particles. For optimal adhesion, abrade non-porous surfaces and clean with a suitable degreaser if necessary.
- Application: Insert the cartridge into a standard caulk gun. Cut the nozzle to the desired bead size, typically at a 45-degree angle. Apply the sealant evenly, ensuring good contact with both surfaces. For bonding, apply in beads or dots and press items together firmly.
- Tooling: Tool the sealant within a few minutes of application for a smooth finish, using a suitable tool or a wetted finger (use a mild detergent solution as lubricant).
- Curing Time: While CT1 works in wet conditions, allow sufficient time for the sealant to cure fully before exposing it to heavy loads or continuous water immersion. The exact curing time will depend on temperature, humidity, and bead thickness.
Compatibility:
CT1 is highly versatile and successfully bonds the following materials:
- All metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper)
- Glass and mirrors
- All types of wood and MDF
- Polystyrene and fiberglass
- Tiles and concrete
- Most stones (without staining)
- Most synthetic materials and plastics
Important Note: CT1 is not compatible with Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) plastics.
Care & Maintenance:
- Post-Application: Once cured, CT1 does not shrink, crack, or lose flexibility, requiring minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: The sealed area can be cleaned with standard household cleaners. For areas prone to mould, regular cleaning and good ventilation will further enhance the anti-mould properties.
- Painting: If desired, the cured sealant can be painted over with most types of paint to match your décor.
