Flexible Sealant: Waterproof, Weatherproof & Versatile

Adiseal flexible sealant is a high performance and versatile sealant that provides a quality seal on many different applications. A sealant that is flexible is required when there could be movement in the joint. When there is movement in the joint, a non-flexible sealant will most likely crack or tear away from the substrate, damaging the seal. A flexible product will be able to maintain the seal without the movement breaking the seal. Adiseal has high flexibility and durability, providing a high quality waterproof seal that lasts a long time.

Why use a flexible sealant

It is common for movement in joints. This can be due to a number of reasons like:

• Temperature changes
• Air humidity changes
• External vibration
• Weight applied to substrate
• Wind

Temperature and moisture changes can cause expansion and contraction in the substrate. A non-flexible product which is brittle will start to break due to the movement. This can reduce the quality of the seal or even destroy it completely. There is also a chance of the non-flexible product tearing away from the substrate.

A sealant with high flexibility is designed to absorb all this movement without compromising the seal. It can also last a lot longer, reducing the need to remove the old sealant and re-apply new sealant.

Clear sealant test in water

In the colour retention test of flexible clear sealants in water, we applied the products to new plastic cups. The cups were filled halfway with tap water, covered, and kept under identical conditions for several days. Adiseal demonstrated exceptional colour retention, preserving its clarity and transparency, while some competitor products exhibited signs of discolouration or cloudiness. Adiseal sealant excelled in maintaining its color, showcasing its effectiveness and durability even in challenging underwater conditions.

Adiseal excelled in our tests, maintaining clarity both above and below the waterline, while competitor clear sealants turned white below the waterline. A competitor product claiming to be top-performing showed discoloration in both below and above the waterline, with their older formula outperforming their new one. Adiseal’s outstanding clarity retention ensures surfaces look their best, making it the superior choice for challenging weather conditions.

How to use a flexible sealant

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.
