The CT1 Adhesive & Sealant in Beige is a highly versatile, all-in-one bonding and sealing solution designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Its key strength lies in its unparalleled ability to adhere to virtually any material under diverse conditions, even underwater, ensuring durable, flexible, and shrink-free results for both interior and exterior projects. While incredibly robust, achieving optimal results still benefits from proper surface preparation for certain delicate applications.
Extreme Versatility: Unique adhesion on virtually any material, eliminating the need for additional fixings in most applications.
All-Weather Performance: Works effectively in wet or dry conditions, including underwater and in all saltwater environments.
Durable & Flexible: Unique formula provides flexibility and does not shrink, ensuring long-lasting, stable results.
Excellent Colour Retention & UV Resistance: Suitable for both interior and exterior use, maintaining its beige colour and resisting degradation from sunlight.
Over Paintable: Allows for seamless integration into finished projects, as it can be painted over once cured.
Eco-Friendly & Safe: Solvent-free, environmentally compliant, and offers excellent resistance to chemicals, making it a responsible choice.
Exceptional Adhesion: Bonds to virtually any material, reducing the need for mechanical fasteners.
Extreme Environmental Resistance: Functions reliably in wet, dry, underwater, and saltwater conditions.
UV Stable & Colorfast: Perfect for outdoor use without fading or degrading.
Flexible & Non-Shrinking: Maintains integrity and prevents cracking over time.
Paintable Surface: Can be easily integrated into painted finishes.
Chemical Resistant & Solvent-Free: Safe and durable in harsh environments.
Requires Applicator: Needs a standard caulk gun for application.
Cure Time Varies: Full cure time can differ based on humidity and temperature.
Info needed: Surface Compatibility: While it adheres to many, some exotic plastics or treated surfaces might require specific primers for best results. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.

CT1 Adhesive & Sealant is engineered for high performance across a wide range of demanding applications. Its ability to bond and seal effectively in wet conditions makes it indispensable for bathrooms, kitchens, and marine environments. For example, you can seal around a leaking shower tray without fully drying the area, or bond elements on a boat even when submerged.
Key Applications Include:
Bathroom & Kitchen Sealing: Grouting tiles, sealing around sinks, baths, and showers. Its mold-resistant properties and beige color retention make it ideal.
Outdoor Repairs: Sealing leaks in roofs, gutters, and downpipes, or bonding outdoor decorative elements, thanks to its UV resistance and all-weather performance.
Marine Applications: Perfect for sealing hatches, portholes, and deck fittings on boats, even below the waterline, due to its saltwater compatibility.
Construction & DIY: Bonding skirting boards, architraves, dado rails, or fixing small structural elements without the need for screws or nails.
Automotive Repairs: Sealing bodywork seams or bonding trim pieces, benefiting from its flexibility and resistance to chemicals.
General Bonding: Adhering dissimilar materials like metal to wood, glass to plastic, or concrete to brick, providing a strong, flexible bond that won't shrink.
Its solvent-free nature means it's safer to work with and reduces environmental impact. The 'over paintable' feature ensures that once applied and cured, your repair or installation can be seamlessly finished to match its surroundings.
Prepare the Surface: Although CT1 works on wet surfaces, for optimal long-term adhesion, ensure the surfaces are clean, free of dust, grease, and loose particles. For very porous or smooth surfaces, a primer might enhance adhesion, though often not necessary.
Cut the Nozzle: Cut the nozzle at a 45-degree angle to the desired bead size.
Load into Gun: Place the CT1 cartridge into a standard caulk gun.
Apply: Apply the sealant steadily and evenly, maintaining consistent pressure. For sealing, aim for a continuous bead. For bonding, apply in beads or dots, then press the two surfaces together firmly.
Tooling: If needed, tool the sealant within a few minutes of application using a suitable tool or a wet finger for a smooth finish.
Cure Time: The surface will typically be tack-free within 20-30 minutes, but full cure can take 24-48 hours depending on bead thickness, temperature, and humidity.
CT1 Adhesive & Sealant is compatible with virtually any material, including:
Wood
Metal
Glass
Concrete
Brick
Ceramics
Most plastics
Stone
Rubber It performs exceptionally well in both wet and dry conditions, underwater, and in saltwater environments.
Post-Application: Clean any excess wet sealant immediately with a suitable cleaner or mineral spirits. Once cured, it is much harder to remove.
Tool Cleaning: Clean tools with mineral spirits or a dedicated cleaner before the product cures.
Storage: Store the cartridge upright in a cool, dry place between +5°C and +25°C (+41°F and +77°F). Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent curing inside the nozzle.
Shelf Life: Info needed: [Check product packaging for specific shelf-life instructions.]
