Product Description

Bostik Silicone Sealant Marine is excellent for building of fish tanks and aquarium, or almost any other heavy duty marine work. Ideal for general purpose sealing, waterproofing and weatherproofing requirements in and around the house. The sealant is extremely resistant to UV, weathering, ageing and water, and offers excellent chemical resistance and is unaffected by alcohols, dilute acids and alkalis, soap and household detergents. The sealant remains flexible over a wide range of temperatures from -40°C to 100°C. It also performs as an excellent adhesive on non-porous surfaces where an elastic gap-filling bond is required. It does not contain a fungicide which may be harmful to aquarium fish.
