• resistance to harmful atmospheric conditions,
• high flexibility,
• resistance to wide range of temperature.

Recommended for sealing the joints between the cladding and the room equip- ment – around shower cabins, shower basins, joints bathroom furniture and fittings, wash basins, toilets, bath tubs, kitchen worktops, sinks

Properties

Permanently exible – retains high flexibility during the whole operation period, hardens without contraction; enables sealing tiles on stable wood-based panels and plasterboards, as well as on floor and wall heating systems.
Ensures aesthetic appearance and durable colour of the joints – it is resistant to UV rays, ageing processes and the influence of cleaning agents.
Forms ideally smooth surface.
Highly resistant to temperatures from -50°C up to +180°C.
Element of the tiling nishing system – in combination with corresponding in colour ATLAS grouts and finishing strips.
36 colours – including the colourless one, matching the colours of ATLAS grouts, silicones and finishing trims.

ATLAS SILTON S Sanitary Silicone – Use

Caulking tiles on vertical and horizontal surfaces, indoors and outdoors in: – residential single – and multi-family buildings, office buildings – in living rooms, kitchens, kitchenettes, halls, antechambers, corridors, staircases, offices, bathrooms, showers, laundries, garages, on terraces, balconies, external stairs*, plinths*;
– public access and commercial buildings – in nurseries, kindergartens, schools, lecture halls, storage rooms, malls, stadiums, sacral buildings, hospitals (incl. rooms sterilization with UV lamps is required), pharmacies, diagnostic stations, car showrooms;
– pools (adjacent rooms, e.g. dressing rooms, showers), saunas, jacuzzi, fountains;
– production and industrial buildings – areas with no aggressive chemical load, storage rooms and warehouses, wash rooms;
Note. In sterile rooms in healthcare objects*, operating theatres*, laboratories*, garages, car washes, fire water reservoirs, industrial laundries and kitchens*, production areas with aggressive chemical load* as well as for ceramic cladding on façades, we recommend the use of ATLAS ARTIS silicone.

Caulking tiles on standard and deformable substrates:
– concrete, cement, anhydrite screed, etc., including those with water and electric heating;
– concrete walls made of ceramic brick, silicate brick, with ceramic elements; walls made of cellular concrete, gypsum blocks;
– cement, cement-lime, gypsum plasters, etc.; walls and drywalls made of laster- boards, incl. fireplace casing;
– floors made of wood, OSB, dry gypsum screed.
Note. In case of steel or plastic substrates, we recommend the use of ATLAS ARTIS silicone.
Surfaces exposed to low, medium and heavy traffic.
Surfaces subject to water and chemical loads: temporarily and frequently washed with water, detergents, machines and power wash.
Note. For surfaces temporarily or frequently washed with aggressive cheicals* or under chemical load*, we recommend the use of ATLAS ARTIS silicone. Note. In case of mark “*” determination of chemical loads and confirmation of resistance needed.

Caulking

Substrate preparation

The substrate should be dry, clean and free from dust, dirt and other contamiations adversely affecting the binding. Surfaces adjacent to places to be filled with the silicone should be protected with protective tape.

Caulking

Before application, remove the nozzle and cut the tip of the cartouche. Then install the nozzle and cut it at angle to the width corresponding with the width of the joint. Insert the cartouche into the caulk gun. Press the silicone out in a uniform way and with little excess into the joint, continuously, without gaps or empty spots. Shape the surface of the silicone within 10 – 15 minutes since application and finally smooth it with a putty knife or another appropriate tool soaked with water with a small addition of soap or dish washing liquid. It is recommended to shape the joints in a way enabling free water dribbling. After smoothing the joints, remove the tape protecting the surface of the caulked elements immediately.

Usage of the floor

Slight pedestrian traffic is possible already after 3 hours since caulking. The sealed surface is ready for full operation load after approx. 24 hours.
