Details of benefits
Works in dry, wet & underwater
Adiseal instantly provides a black seal effectively in dry, wet, and even underwater conditions. This is very useful, particularly in urgent situations such as sealing a leaking gutter. Unlike black silicone that requires a dry surface for application, Adiseal excels in emergency repairs.
Waterproof
Adiseal’s waterproof sealing properties outperform black silicone sealants in many sealing applications. It ensures effective sealing and immediate testing capabilities. Additionally, Adiseal is a dependable choice for automotive purposes.
Solvent Free
Adiseal solvent-free sealant, ensures enhanced safety when working with delicate materials sensitive to solvents. Polystyrene, sometimes used in bath panels, is especially vulnerable to solvents in black bath sealants. Adiseal’s solvent free formula means it’s safe for use on polystyrene and other sensitive materials.
No Shrinkage or Cracking
Silicone sealants are normally solvent-based which has problems like shrinking. Adiseal is solvent free and does not suffer from the issue of shrinking. Solvent-based products require the solvents to evaporate in order for the adhesive or sealant to cure, leading to shrinkage. This shrinkage can result in the sealant pulling away from the surface, ultimately creating a weaker seal. However, with Adiseal, this concern is effectively eliminated, making it an excellent choice for various applications, including serving as a reliable gutter sealant.
EC1 Plus certified
Adiseal boasts the lowest Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content among its counterparts and holds the prestigious EC1 Plus certification.
Black kitchen sealant
Adiseal’s ISEGA certification makes it an ideal black kitchen sealant, ensuring safety and reliability for food-related applications.
Interior & exterior use
Adiseal is versatile for both interior and exterior use, outperforming specialized products, making it superior for diverse sealing needs. Whether you need a black worktop or roof sealant, Adiseal excels in both applications.
How to use a black sealant
How to use a black sealant
- Prepare the surface
Ensure that the surface you are sealing is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, dust, or loose particles. Use appropriate cleaning methods and tools to prepare the area.
- Cut the nozzle
Cut the nozzle of the black sealant. Make sure to cut a small opening that matches the desired bead size.
- Apply the sealant
Apply a consistent bead along the desired area. Use steady pressure on the gun trigger to control the flow of the sealant.
- Tool the sealant
After applying the black sealant, use a caulk smoothing tool to smooth and shape the sealant bead. This helps create a neat and professional finish.
- Cleanup
Any excess sealant should be wiped away using a damp cloth before it dries. Avoid smearing or spreading the sealant outside the desired area.
- Allow curing time
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the recommended curing time for the black sealant. This can vary depending on the specific product and environmental conditions.
Tip: To store Adiseal once opened, leave about 1cm worth of product out of the nozzle and store the tube upright in a cool dry place. Adiseal requires moisture for it to cure. The exposed part out of the nozzle will cure creating a cap. To re-use Adiseal, pull the cured part out or cut the nozzle until the uncured part is reached.

Frequently asked questions about black sealant
Most silicone sealants are solvent based. For solvent based products, Adisolve can be used to deactivate the product. Spraying Adisolve on top of the product will help the silicone peel away from the material it is stuck to. Use a sharp item then to cut away any sealant that remains stuck to the surface.
