Application

Particularly suitable for expansion joints in ceramic surfaces, sealing around pipe passages, and sanitary installations.
Excellent adhesion without priming to glass, ceramic tiles, marble, natural stone, enamel, metals, painted surfaces, and varnished wood.

Final appearance

Surface
The joint should be smooth with an even surface, free from holes or lines. Avoid inappropriate working or late smoothing, as this may leave noticeable lines or holes.

Design
The joints should be filled to a depth suitable for the tiles and their intended use. Shape the joint so it is not any deeper than the tiles to prevent water from accumulating on the surface. Shape joints along vertical boundaries with a run-off away from the vertical surface.

Strength
After curing, the joint should be solid with secure adhesion to the tile edges. The joint cures on contact with ambient humidity; applying a little water when smoothing will accelerate membrane formation. Excessive water will disrupt curing. Moist surfaces will prevent adhesion. For maximum elasticity, join two edges only. That is why a backstop or tape should be used at the base. To check tile edge adhesion, carefully probe the middle of the joint with a blunt, approximately 50 mm long instrument.

Colour
All joints will change colour over an extended period – no joint will be the same colour after years of use as it was at first.
Colour fading or discoloration of silicone joints triggered by chemical interactions with cleaning agents or their vapours, off-gassing from paint or wood furniture or similar are not covered by the warranty.

Colours

Available in colours to match cement-based Alfix grout range: brilliant white, grey, pale grey, steel grey, graphite, anthracite, black grey, light beige and jura beige. Colour swatches available on request.

Characteristics

Due to neutral curing, Alfix M-Silicon will not cause any colour alteration of acid-sensitive materials, such as natural stone and hence, the product is very suitable for marble, granite, travertine, etc.
Also ideal for sealing facades with ceramic tiles as the product does not attract dirt.
Alfix M-Silicone retains elasticity and produces a long life weather- and waterproof joint resistant to mildew (sanitary type).
