Product Overview
Everbuild Plumbers Gold Sealant & Adhesive, supplied in a 290ml cartridge. This advanced hybrid polymer formulation combines high-strength adhesion with flexible, waterproof sealing performance designed for professional plumbing, bathroom, and kitchen applications.
Clear in colour, it offers excellent primerless adhesion to a wide range of substrates including glass, acrylic, fibreglass, ceramics, aluminium, and hard plastics. It can be applied to damp surfaces and is capable of curing underwater, providing a reliable bond and seal in active wet environments.
Integrated Mould Shield® technology offers proven long-term resistance against black mould growth for up to five years.
Clear finish ensures a discreet, near-invisible seal ideal for transparent or light-coloured materials, supplied in a 290ml volume.
Features & Benefits
- Hybrid polymer formulation: Combines adhesive strength and sealing flexibility for use across plumbing and sanitary applications.
- Water and weather resistant: Bonds and seals effectively on wet surfaces and underwater without loss of adhesion.
- Mould Shield® protection: Contains long-lasting anti-fungal agents, proven to resist black mould for five years under accelerated ageing tests.
- Primerless adhesion: Excellent direct adhesion to metals, glass, acrylics, ceramics, PVC, fibreglass, and many plastics without the need for priming.
- Flexible and durable: Accommodates joint movement up to ±20% while maintaining bond strength and waterproof integrity.
- Multi-surface compatibility: Suitable for bonding and sealing sanitary fittings, shower frames, waste traps, mirrors, and plumbing joints.
- Clear 290ml size: Provides approximately 10.5 linear metres of a standard joint bead, ideal for transparent or light-surface sealing where a clear finish is preferred.
Applications
- Sanitary sealing: For use around baths, showers, sinks, and tiled areas exposed to constant moisture.
- Plumbing joints: Seals and bonds waste pipes, soil and vent connections, and tap bases.
- Adhesive bonding: Suitable for fixing shower frames, mirrors, and ceramic components to walls and tiles.
- Leak repairs: Ideal for sealing small leaks and joints in wet or submerged conditions.
- Mirror and trim installation: Bonds mirrors and PVC trims securely, including vertical or damp surfaces.
- General maintenance: Versatile for household, workshop, and site sealing and bonding tasks.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, sound, and free from oil, grease, and loose materials. On dusty surfaces, priming with Everbuild PVA Bond diluted 1:4 with water is recommended.
- Application as an adhesive: Apply beads in continuous lines or dabs depending on substrate and weight. For heavy items, provide temporary support until cured.
- Application as a sealant: Follow recommended joint design with depth no greater than half the width. Apply using a standard sealant gun and tool within 15 minutes for a neat finish.
- Mirror fixing: Apply vertical beads 6mm in diameter at 30-40mm centres. Press mirror firmly in place and support for 24-48 hours before sealing edges.
- Cleaning: Remove uncured material with white spirit; cured product should be removed mechanically.
Compliance & Performance
- Material type: STP hybrid polymer-based adhesive and sealant suitable for sanitary and plumbing use.
- Standards compliance: Certified to EN15651-1:2012 for façade, sanitary, interior, exterior, and cold climate applications.
- Mechanical performance: Shore A hardness 40 ± 5; tensile strength >0.8 MPa; elongation at break >150%; movement capability ± 20%.
- Service temperature range: -40°C to +70°C.
- Shelf life: 12 months when stored in original packaging under cool, dry conditions between +5°C and +25°C.
- Important note: Not suitable for potable water systems, structural glazing, bituminous materials, or aquarium use. Adhesion should be tested on plastics before large-scale application. Some yellowing may occur in dark or UV-exposed areas but does not affect performance.
