BT1 is frequently referred to as the “healthiest” sealant. Why? Because its formulation eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and a broad spectrum of microbes, making it impossible for mould and fungus to grow on its surface. But the health, financial, and visible benefits run much deeper than that. Here are five more benefits of using revolutionary mould-resistant sealant, BT1.
1. A longer-lasting finish
The powerful mould-resistant properties of BT1 allows your application to retain its brilliant white appearance for up to 25 years. BT1 is not only a formidable sealant (with the inclusion of C-Tec’s innovative TRIBRID® technology, making BT1’s bond up to 360% stronger than traditional hybrid polymers), but its bacteria-repelling formulation prevents unsightly black mould from growing on its surface. This means you can retain a great-looking finish for longer.
2. A better financial investment
Many silicone sealants need replacing every few years due to two reasons. The first is cracks, which lead to leaks. The second is mould growth. In wet or damp locations, like your shower, traditional silicone sealants create a perfect surface for mould and fungus to take hold. The result? Needing to spend time and effort replacing compromised sealant. This cost can stack up over time, especially if you’re working with a particularly moist and humid environment, such as a wet room.
As mould cannot grow on BT1, it removes the need to replace the sealant for this reason – making BT1 a far better financial investment than a sealant that will fail within five years.
3. Reduces risk of infection and illness
Tested under MOD IOS 22196:2011, BT1 is scientifically proven to reduce bacteria by 99.99%, including those that cause and promote mould and fungal growth. It is also highly effective against a vast collection of microbes such as MRSA, E. coli and Campylobacter.
This almost clinically clean application means BT1 is trusted for use in kitchens and bathrooms in hospitals, clinics, schools, and more, to help fight the risk of illness and infection from harmful bacteria. BT1 instantly makes spaces cleaner and healthier, without the need for any additional effort.
4. Improves overall health
BT1 reduces the risk of asthma and allergies in your home thanks to its unique formulation, with bacteria and microbe-reducing properties and the absence of solvents. This formulation has gained BT1 a coveted certification from The Norwegian Asthma and Allergy Association (NAAF). In fact, along with C-Tec’s other leading sealant and adhesive, CT1, BT1 is the only sealant globally to achieve this sought-after accreditation.
5. Peace of mind
Adding all these benefits together, arguably the biggest benefit of using a mould-resistant sealant is the peace of mind that comes with making a safe, healthy, and long-lasting decision for your home.
