Mapesil AC Mapei Silicone Colors

Mapesil AC is a one-component, transparent or colored, acetic cross-linked, solvent-free, silicone sealant, presented as a thixotropic paste, easy to apply both horizontally and vertically, which cross-links with atmospheric humidity, at room temperature, forming an elastic product. Available in 26 colors

.

CARACTERISTICS

• Optimal durability; the seal remains unaltered, even after many years of exposure to weathering, industrial environments, thermal changes or immersion in water.
• High elasticity.
• Optimal adhesion on glass, ceramics and anodized aluminum
• Optimal adhesion on glass, ceramics and anodized aluminum.
• Unassailable by mildew
• Optimal adhesion to glass, ceramics and anodized aluminum
• Waterproof and vapor-permeable
• Waterproof and vapor permeable
• Resistant to chemical agents
• Flexible up to -10%.
• Flexible down to -40° C and resistant to temperatures of +180° C
• Easy to work with
• According to the ISO 11600 standard, Mapesil AC is classified F-25-LM

Important warnings

• Do not use Mapesil AC outdoors for joints between ceramics and light natural stone because there may be a buildup of dirt on the edges of the joint. Use Mapesil LM
• For sealing acid-sensitive surfaces, such as limestone, use a neutral silicone sealant (e.g. Mapesil LM).
• The use of Mapesil AC is not recommended on heavily plasticized plastic surfaces or bituminous surfaces, due to the release of substances that reduce adhesion and penetrate the sealant, altering the color and resistance.
• The resistance of Mapesil AC to chemical agents is generally good; in any case, given the multiplicity of products and service conditions, it is necessary, in case of doubt, to carry out prior tests.
• Do not use Mapesil AC for sealing aquariums, as it contains a substance hazardous to aquatic organisms.
• For the sealing of pavements subject to heavy traffic, use a polyurethane sealant (e.g. Mapeflex PU21)

APPLICATION CAMPOSES

Mapesil AC is a silicone sealant, acetic cross-linking, suitable for sealing glass, ceramics and anodized aluminum; after treatment with an adhesion promoter, Primer FD, it can also be used on concrete, wood, metal, painted surfaces, plastic materials and rubber.
