Additionally, its exceptional UV resistance ensures that the sealant will not degrade or lose its appearance under sunlight, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. \n \nDurable and resistant to chemicals: This silicone sealant is resistant to alcohols, diluted acids and alkalis, soap, and household detergents, making it perfect for areas that may come into contact with cleaning agents or chemicals. Its excellent colour fastness and clear grade ensure that the sealant will not yellow over time, maintaining a clean and fresh look. \n \nNot suitable for some surfaces: While it excels in many applications, Alcolin K86 Silicone is not recommended for use on alkaline surfaces such as concrete or fibrous cement, as the product releases acetic acid during curing. It is also unsuitable for certain metals like lead or galvanized iron, as it may cause corrosion. Additionally, it should not be used on the back of mirrors or on marble, as it can cause discolouration. \n \nNon-paintable and limited plastic adhesion: The sealant cannot be over-painted, making it unsuitable for applications where you require a painted finish over the sealant. Additionally, it will not adhere to some plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and Teflon. Always ensure the substrate is compatible with the sealant before use. \n \nFungicide inclusion and non-aquatic use: Alcolin K86 Silicone contains a fungicide to prevent mold growth, which makes it unsuitable for use in fish tanks or aquatic environments. The presence of this fungicide means it is best for general sealing tasks rather than for aquatic applications. \n \nAlcolin K86 Silicone - 280ml (Clear) is the ideal solution for sealing, bonding, and mending in both everyday and specialized applications. Its durable, flexible properties make it suitable for extreme temperatures and challenging environments, providing long-lasting, watertight seals in automotive, marine, and household uses.
