Mapei Mapesil AC 111 Solvent-Free Silicone Silver Grey 310ml

Product Information

Do not use Mapei Mapesil LM for sealing doors subject to intense traffic – (use Mapeflex PU45, Mapeflex PU20 or Mapeflex PU21).

Thanks to the low modulus of elasticity of Mapei Mapesil LM Silicone, it is suitable for sealing internal and external fillet and expansion joints, including those subject to high levels of movement when in service, between: Pre-fabricated panels, window/door fittings and wall surrounds, pipe-work and vertical walls, similar and/or different types of coating materials. It is also suitable for sealing joints in doors with limited pedestrian traffic. Forming a perfectly elastic gasket between different elements in building, mechanical engineering, ship-building, automobile manufacturing, etc. For sealing floor joints subject to heavy traffic, use a polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex PU 45 FT) or epoxy-polyurethane (e.g. Mapeflex PU20) sealant. For sealing surfaces sensitive to acids such as lime stone, use a neutral silicone sealant (e.g. Mapesil LM).Mapei Mapesil LM Silicone delays the formation of surface mould. Mapei Mapesil LM generally offers good resistance to chemical agents. However, because of the wide range of products and service conditions, if in doubt carry out preliminary tests beforehand. Mapei Mapesil LM does not emit unpleasant odours, and comes in the form of a thixotropic paste. It is easy to apply on vertical and horizontal surfaces and cures at room temperature through the humidity present in the air to form a flexible sealant. Seals made using Mapei Mapesil LM are extremely stable over time, even when exposed to inclement weather, industrial environments, temperature variations or water. The product remains flexible over a temperature range of between -40°C and +150°C. Do not apply Mapesil LM Silicone on rubber, heavily-plasticised plastics or bitumen. The oil and plasticising agents in the substrate may migrate to the surface and compromise the bond or penetrate into the sealant leading to a variation in colour and mechanical characteristics.

Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone is a one-component, acetic crosslinking, solvent-free silicone sealant, available coloured or transparent. It is a thixotropic paste which is easily trowellable both horizontally and vertically. Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone crosslinks following exposure to atmospheric humidity at ambient temperatures, and forms an elastic product with following properties: Sealing joints in wall and floor coverings of ceramic and cement, provided they are not subject to heavy abrasion.Mapei Mapesil LM is particularly suitable for surfaces sensitive to acids on which conventional neutral or acid sealants normally provoke changes in colour or staining of the substrate. The use of Mapei Mapesil AC is not recommended on highly plasticised material or on bituminous surfaces because of the release of substances that reduce bonding and penetrate into the sealant, altering the colour and resistance. To control the depth of the joint and to prevent Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone from adhering to the base, the bottom of the joint should be filled with a sized Mapefoam, a polyethylene cord Where Mapei Mapesil AC is to be applied in areas of continuous immersion, i.e. inside a swimming pool tank, the joints must be primed using Mapei Primer FD.

When Mapei Mapesil LM is exposed to the air, the surrounding humidity sets off the cure reaction and the sealant becomes flexible. The surrounding temperature only has a small impact on the cure rate of Mapei Mapesil LM, while the level of humidity in the surrounding air has the most influence. We highly recommend that the product is never applied if the temperature is below 0°C. Application of Mapei Primer FD: Where the use of Primer FD is necessary, it must be applied with a small brush onto the appropriate areas of the joints and left to dry for several minutes to allow the solvent to evaporate. Then apply Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone.Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone is a solvent-free, acetic crosslinking, mildew-resistant silicone sealant with low modulus of elasticity, available in 42 colours and transparent, to match the range of Mapei Coloured Grouts. After first having used a bonding enhancer, such as Mapei Primer FD, Mapei Mapesil AC Silicone can also be used on concrete, wood, metal, painted surfaces, plastic and rubber.
