If you have a leaking water butt it is essential to source a sealant that is not compromised by wet conditions and can also be applied under water without losing its lasting grab ability. Unsurprisingly it is a real challenge to find a product that complies fully with all the tick box criteria for an effective and safe product. The sealant solution should have a high tensile strength enabling it to tolerate a considerable pull force and should possess the necessary bonding qualities to ensure it is not compromised by weather or temperature extremes. With this particular application the sealant/adhesive should be flexible to tolerate any movement in the Butt’s plastic material whilst retaining its performance integrity.It should also have UV resistant qualities that prevent product shrinkage and expansion.
Many generic adhesive/sealant products are not adequately safe and are ineffectual in wet or underwater conditions, so it begs the question – is there anything out there that remotely complies with a comprehensive criteria for efficient performance and safety?
Fortunately there is a standout adhesive/sealant that has been specifically designed for the Construction Industry in the recent past. It is ideal for fixing the leak in a plastic water butt with either internal or external application The eponymous CT1 named after the Company that designed and developed the product is a revolutionary solution with a unique formulation that endows it with many fine attributes that contribute collectively to its stable efficient performance in changing external conditions.
