How to choose kitchen and bathroom sealant?

In the home improvement substrate connection, there is no more grounded than sealant. Just use the glue gun to squeeze the colloid into the gap that needs to be filled, and it can be quickly cured into an elastomer at normal room temperature to form a watertight sealing effect.

Look at the position of the toilet, table, glass, metal and other corners in the home, there is the existence of sealant. Small sealant, after all, how much ability?

1.The home needs to be used to seal the part

--Pool, wash basin and table or wall contact parts

--The contact part of the table and the wall

--The contact part of the toilet and the ground

--The connection of the shower room and the ground

--The gap between doors and Windows

2.A qualified sealant must meet these requirements

--As a product for indoor use, sealant should first be green and not harmful to human health.

--The kitchen is relatively humid, especially easy to breed mold not only affect the appearance, but also not conducive to health. Therefore, the sealant used between the kitchen and bathroom must have mildew proof performance.

--Water resistance is the resistance of the material to water, the performance directly affects the service life of the sealant. The sealant used between kitchen and door and window is often in contact with water, so it is required to have good water resistance.

3.The gaps between kitchen and bathroom are moldy, black and leaky

The humid environment is easy to become a breeding ground for mold. Little mold spots not only affect the beauty and cleanliness of the living environment, but also may have health risks. Therefore, it is suggested that we use the sealant with mildew proof performance as far as possible in the space with large humidity such as between the kitchen and bathroom.

4.Mildew-proof sealant mildew-proof principle

Mildew proof sealant can be mildew proof, because in the sealant by increasing the antibacterial agent, so that the mold does not have the environment to survive, to achieve mildew proof effect. The use of mildew gum is not a one-time cure, as the passage of time, antibacterial agents will be gradually consumed. Therefore, IN THE daily LIFE HUTchER-BATHROOM STILL NEEDS TO MAINTAIN good ventilation, and timely wipe off the surface of the joint residual water stains, soup, detergent and so on. At the same time, it is also recommended that high humidity environment such as kitchen and bathroom, sealant repair is not regular.

5.Sealant construction process

--Preparation of construction materials and tools

Manual or pneumatic glue gun; Scraper, masking paper, wallpaper knife, cleaning spatula; Gloves, cloth, etc.

--Basic treatment

Clean the gap and paste the paper.

Clean the gap of the substrate; Shovel away the original old glue, residual glue, the gap should be clean, dry, no oil, water and dust. Glue parts on both sides of the paste pattern paper.

--Install glue gun

Cutting rubber head, cutting hose, mounting hose

The mouth diameter should be less than the width of the gap, so that the mouth is one-half depth of the interface. Make the gap rubber full, full, no lack of material phenomenon.

--Glue construction

Continuous and uniform glue injection in one direction to prevent cavitation or foaming.

--Seam pressure treatment

Wipe the scraper flat and press the seam.

After the glue injection is completed, the scraper is used to press the colloid in one direction to eliminate the bubbles, and the glue surface is repaired into a plane or arc surface, and the modified paper is removed.

--Material maintenance

After the construction of sealant, it should be cleaned and maintained. Generally, it can be cured within one day.

6.Maintenance points
