Product Overview
Everbuild General Purpose Silicone Clear supplied in a 280ml cartridge is a mid-modulus, acetoxy-cure silicone sealant designed for multi-purpose use in household, sanitary, and light industrial sealing tasks.
It provides a permanently flexible, high-strength waterproof joint with excellent adhesion to smooth, non-porous materials such as glass, enamel, ceramics, aluminium, and uPVC. Formulated with a built-in fungicide, it resists the growth of mould and mildew, ensuring long-term cleanliness in high-humidity environments.
Its quick-curing, low-viscosity composition allows fast application and neat tooling for professional-quality results. The clear colour produces a transparent, unobtrusive finish ideal for clean, seamless joints in bathrooms, kitchens, and glazing work.
