Key Takeaways:
- Use sanitary sealants for bathrooms, kitchens, and wet areas to prevent water ingress, mould, and bacterial growth.
- Choose neutral-cure, food-safe sealants for sensitive surfaces like baths, showers, tiles, and natural stone.

Sanitary Sealants:
Sanitary sealants are essential for maintaining hygiene and protecting surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens. They provide excellent adhesion to tiles, acrylic baths, showers, and other wet area surfaces, while remaining highly resistant to water, mould, and mildew. Many Soudal products include anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents, making them ideal for food-safe or high-moisture applications. Silirub Cleanroom, FixALL High Tack and FixALL Crystal are standout solutions in this category, combining durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
Sealing Natural Stone:
When working with natural stone surfaces such as marble or granite, selecting the right sealant is critical. Improper sealants can cause edge-of-seal contamination, leaving permanent discolouration. Soudal’s neutral-cure silicones, such as Bathroom & Kitchen Sealant and Pureseal B&K prevent staining while providing strong adhesion and elasticity. These sealants are formulated for delicate and porous surfaces, ensuring a clean, professional finish without compromising safety or appearance.
