Everbuild General Purpose Silicone White
Everbuild General Purpose Silicone White is a versatile, acetoxy-cure silicone sealant designed to create a permanently flexible and waterproof seal. Suitable for a wide variety of general sealing and glazing applications, it delivers excellent adhesion to most smooth and non-porous materials.
The white finish is ideal for areas where a clean and professional appearance is required, particularly around white sanitary fittings, window frames, worktops and splashbacks. Its easy-to-apply formulation makes it suitable for professional tradespeople, maintenance teams and DIY users.
Flexible and waterproof silicone sealant
Building materials can move slightly due to changes in temperature, moisture and everyday use. A rigid seal may crack or pull away when this movement occurs. Everbuild General Purpose Silicone remains flexible after curing, allowing it to accommodate normal movement while maintaining a strong and reliable seal.
Its waterproof properties make it suitable for sealing joints in locations regularly exposed to moisture. Once fully cured, it forms a durable barrier that helps prevent water from entering gaps around fittings, frames and adjoining surfaces.
Mould-resistant formulation
This general-purpose silicone contains a fungicide that helps protect the cured sealant against the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria. This makes it particularly useful in kitchens, utility rooms and sanitary areas where moisture and humidity are regularly present.
The mould-resistant formulation helps the seal retain a cleaner appearance, although the finished joint should still be cleaned and maintained regularly. Good ventilation and effective moisture control will also help minimise mould growth in humid rooms.
Suitable applications
Everbuild General Purpose Silicone White can be used for a broad range of interior and exterior sealing tasks, including:
- Sealing around baths, showers and sanitary fittings
- Sealing worktops, sinks and splashbacks
- General glazing applications
- Sealing around doors and window frames
- Sealing glass, ceramic tiles and glazed surfaces
- Filling joints between suitable non-porous materials
- General maintenance and repair work
The product should not be treated as a universal sealant for every surface. Porous materials, natural stone, mirrors, metals sensitive to acetoxy-cure silicones and specialist glazing systems may require a different product. Always check the manufacturer’s technical guidance when compatibility is uncertain.
Strong adhesion to smooth surfaces
The silicone provides good adhesion to many commonly used smooth and non-porous materials, including glass, glazed ceramic tiles and suitable sanitary surfaces. Correct surface preparation is essential for achieving a neat and long-lasting result.
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust, grease, soap residue, loose material and old sealant. Existing silicone should be completely removed, as new silicone will not bond effectively to cured silicone residue.
Masking tape can be applied along both sides of the joint to create clean edges. The nozzle should be cut to match the required bead size before the cartridge is fitted into a suitable sealant gun.
How to apply Everbuild General Purpose Silicone
Apply the silicone evenly into the joint, making sure the material makes full contact with both sides. Avoid leaving gaps or air pockets within the bead.
Tool the sealant promptly using a suitable finishing tool to create a smooth surface and ensure good adhesion. Remove any masking tape before the silicone begins to form a skin. Allow the sealant to cure fully before exposing it to water, cleaning products or regular use.
Curing times will vary depending on the joint dimensions, temperature, humidity and application conditions. Always refer to the product packaging and current manufacturer’s instructions before use.
A clean white finish
The bright white colour makes this silicone particularly suited to white tiles, sanitaryware, uPVC frames and light-coloured fixtures. When applied carefully, it creates a tidy seal that blends naturally into kitchens, bathrooms and other finished areas.
Because silicone is not normally paintable, the correct colour should be selected before application. If the joint needs to be painted, a compatible decorator’s sealant may be a more appropriate option.
