Fix and seal
Alcolin MS37 1000 Uses is a new generation silicone and ‘grab adhesive’ that has all the features of a silicone sealant and polyurethane rolled into one, but without the limitations! Unlike a traditional acid-curing silicone, it is odourless and paintable, and unlike a polyurethane sealant, it is isocyanate free, UV resistant and can bond to damp surfaces. It is neutral curing, making it non-corrosive for use on metals and alkaline materials such as cement and masonry. Alcolin MS37 1000 Uses is excellent for sealing connecting joints in walls and floors, perimeter sealing between doors and window frames, sealing between carpentry and masonry, etc. It is also great for bonding decorative cladding and panels, and elastic bonding of non-porous surfaces such as glass and stainless steel, etc. Available in 280ml cartridges.
