Product Overview
Everbuild Everflex 195 Siliconised Acrylic Sealant in White, supplied in a 300 ml cartridge. This high-performance sealant combines acrylic flexibility with silicone enhancement to deliver a permanently flexible, long-lasting joint for internal and external use.
It provides excellent adhesion to timber, metal, PVCu, stone, plaster, brickwork, and concrete surfaces. The formulation incorporates a powerful fungicide, ensuring resistance to mould and mildew in damp or humid environments.
The sealant can be overpainted once cured, providing a seamless finish in decorative and construction applications. It is presented as a ready-to-use thixotropic paste with low slump characteristics and a service temperature range of –15 °C to +75 °C.
Features & Benefits
- High Flexibility: Permanently flexible composition allows for natural movement between building materials without cracking or loss of adhesion.
- Strong Adhesion: Bonds effectively to timber, metal, PVCu, plaster, stone, brickwork, and most construction substrates.
- Mould Resistant: Formulated with a fungicidal additive to prevent mould and mildew growth in high-humidity environments.
- Paintable Finish: Can be overpainted once a surface skin has formed, ensuring an even decorative appearance.
- Easy Application: Smooth thixotropic paste suitable for application with standard sealant guns; easy to tool and clean with warm water.
- Durable Composition: Resistant to dilute acids, alkalis, and aliphatic hydrocarbons, providing longevity in both interior and exterior settings.
- Temperature Range: Performs reliably between –15 °C and +75 °C, maintaining integrity across seasonal variations.
- Size 300ml: Supplied in a 300ml cartridge for convenient handling and accurate application control.
Applications
- Window and Door Frames: Sealing gaps around timber, metal, and PVCu window and door surrounds.
- Decorating Preparation: Filling cracks and gaps prior to painting or wallpapering.
- PVCu Cladding and Trim: Providing clean, flexible seals around plastic profiles and panels.
- Masonry and Plasterwork: Sealing cracks in brickwork, plaster, stone, and concrete.
- Adhesive Use: Suitable for bonding polystyrene coving, cork tiles, and wood block flooring.
- General Purpose Sealing: Ideal for both internal and external use where a durable, paintable joint is required.
Installation Guidance
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all substrates are clean, sound, and free from dust, grease, and loose material before application.
- Priming: Apply Everbuild PVA Bond diluted 1:4 with water to prime highly porous surfaces such as new plaster.
- Application Method: Cut cartridge tip and nozzle at a 45° angle; apply using a standard sealant gun while maintaining steady pressure for an even bead.
- Finishing: Tool and smooth within 20 minutes using a wetted spatula or finger; avoid excessive water which can delay curing.
- Curing Time: Tack-free in 15–60 minutes; full cure in 3–5 days depending on bead thickness, temperature, and humidity.
- Overpainting: Allow a surface skin to form before painting; compatibility testing is advised for flexible coatings.
