Questions and Answers:

FAQs Dowsil 785 Bacteriostatic Silicone Sealant:

1. What is bacteriostatic technology, and how does it benefit sanitary applications?
Bacteriostatic technology prevents the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew by creating a protective layer within the sealant that inhibits microbial activity. This feature is crucial in high-moisture environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens, hospitals, and commercial kitchens, where damp conditions can promote microbial growth. By maintaining a clean, hygienic seal over time, Dowsil 785 helps reduce the risk of contamination and supports strict health and safety standards in healthcare and food preparation areas.

2. Can Dowsil 785 withstand frequent exposure to cleaning chemicals and sanitizers?
Yes, Dowsil 785 is specifically formulated to be chemical and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for environments that require regular cleaning and disinfection. Its flexible, durable composition resists damage from common cleaning agents used in commercial kitchens, hospitals, and public restrooms, ensuring that the seal remains intact without cracking, shrinking, or losing adhesion. This durability is critical for maintaining hygiene and compliance with industry regulations.

3. How does Dowsil 785 differ from other silicone sealants in terms of hygiene?
Unlike standard silicone sealants, Dowsil 785 includes anti-bacterial and anti-fungal additives, which actively prevent microbial growth on the sealant surface. This makes it especially effective in sanitary environments where high levels of cleanliness are required. Many ordinary sealants may provide basic waterproofing but lack the bacteriostatic protection that is essential in hospitals, food processing areas, and wet rooms.

4. Is Dowsil 785 suitable for use in healthcare environments, including hospitals and clinics?
Yes, Dowsil 785 is highly recommended for healthcare environments due to its ability to inhibit bacteria and mould growth. It can be applied around sinks, showers, toilets, and other fixtures in hospitals, clinics, and care homes to create a hygienic, waterproof barrier. Its durability under frequent cleaning and anti-bacterial properties make it compliant with healthcare hygiene protocols, supporting infection control measures.

5. Can this sealant be used on porous surfaces, or is it limited to non-porous materials?
Dowsil 785 is designed for use on non-porous surfaces such as ceramics, glass, metal, and plastics, where it can form a strong, waterproof bond. It may not adhere effectively to porous materials like brick, concrete, or stone, which may absorb moisture and compromise the sealant's performance. For porous substrates, a neutral cure or hybrid sealant is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and long-term durability.
