Did you know that CT1 is the UK’s number one sealant and construction adhesive? And rightly so, as CT1 has proved its capabilities time and time again. With over 25 accreditations to its name, including the NAAF (Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association), CT1 was given a high stamp of approval from a broad spectrum of established accreditations.
So, what makes CT1 the UK’s number one sealant and adhesive? In this article, you’ll discover 8 amazing characteristics of CT1 that makes it the most trusted sealant on the market.
- Weather resistant
When you need to seal outdoor structures such as gutters, CT1 is the only sealant to complete such projects and stand against harsh environments and atmospheric conditions. It could rain, sleet or snow and CT1 will not budge. It creates a long-lasting bond that stands the test of time.
- Flexible
If you’re working with porous materials such as wood, you need an adhesive that is flexible enough to expand and contract when needed. CT1 is a flexible sealant and has become known as ‘The Snag List Eliminator’ because of its versatility, flexibility, and strength.
- Can be applied to wet surfaces
Whether you want to seal a leaking gutter, install shower panels, or seal around a bath, CT1 is the ideal sealant for wet conditions. Unlike conventional sealants, you don’t have to wait for the area to dry before application. CT1 is water resistant and can be applied directly to wet surfaces.
- Instant bonding
Don’t have much time to wait around for your sealant to bond? No problem. CT1 creates fast and instant bonds, offering a unique adhesion on virtually any material without the need for additional fixings. You can complete projects using CT1 and get the job done faster than ever, which also reduces labour time.
- Doesn’t shrink
Most sealants and adhesives will crack or shrink over time. The environment and surrounding conditions are usually to blame for this, but the problem often lies with the sealant itself. Traditional sealants simply don’t have the power to maintain quality bonds. However, CT1 isn’t like other sealants. CT1 doesn’t shrink and replaces numerous products from just one tube.
- Resists fungal growth
TRIBRID® Technology has introduced a new era of sealants. BT1, which is the sister product of CT1, has also been tested and has shown during testing that it reduces the risk of MRSA and E. coli. CT1 is an excellent sealant with great resistance to fungal growth, creating healthier results that won’t turn mouldy or develop fungus.
- Powerful strength
CT1 creates a super strong bond unlike anything seen before. In fact, CT1 is 360% stronger than a traditional hybrid polymer product, which means it can create the strongest bonds between even the most difficult of base materials. CT1 will successfully bond metals, glass, mirrors, woods, MDF, polystyrene, fiberglass, tiles, concrete, stones, most synthetic materials and most plastics (excluding PP, PE, and PTFE).
- Odourless
Avoid the foul smell of traditional sealants thanks to the odourless nature of CT1. You won’t have to worry about any odours as CT1 is completely odourless, which makes completing projects with this sealant and adhesive much easier on the nose!
