Questions and Answers:

FAQs

1. What makes Dowsil 786 suitable for both food-safe and sanitary applications?
Dowsil 786 is certified for use in environments where hygiene is critical, such as food preparation areas and wet rooms. Contains a food grade fungicide to prevent mould growth, safe for repeated food contact, Its formula contains anti-microbial properties that prevent the growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria. Unlike standard silicone sealants, Dowsil 786 is designed to withstand frequent exposure to food residue, water, and cleaning agents without degrading or becoming a breeding ground for harmful microbes. This makes it ideal for commercial kitchens, food storage areas, and sanitary installations like bathrooms and showers.

2. How does Dowsil 786 perform under frequent cleaning and harsh chemical exposure?
This sealant is engineered to be highly resistant to common cleaning agents, including detergents, disinfectants, and sanitizers, making it ideal for environments that require regular cleaning. It forms a strong, waterproof bond that remains intact even with repeated scrubbing and exposure to chemicals. Additionally, its flexibility prevents cracking or peeling, ensuring a reliable seal over time even under heavy-duty maintenance routines.

3. Can I use Dowsil 786 on all surfaces, or are there limitations?
Dowsil 786 is designed for use on non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, ceramics, and certain plastics. These materials allow for optimal adhesion and curing. It is not recommended for porous surfaces like concrete, wood, or stone, as these surfaces may absorb the sealant and compromise its adhesion and performance. For porous materials, a neutral cure or hybrid sealant may provide better results due to its compatibility with absorbent surfaces.

4. How long does it take for Dowsil 786 to fully cure, and when can it be exposed to water?
The sealant typically skins over within 5-10 minutes, making it easy to tool and shape shortly after application. Full curing generally occurs within 24 hours under normal temperature and humidity conditions. Once fully cured, the sealant is completely waterproof and ready for exposure to water, making it ideal for use around sinks, baths, and other wet areas. For optimal results, it's recommended to avoid water exposure during the first 24 hours to ensure a secure bond.

Its high-performance properties, such as resistance to moisture, chemicals, and bacteria, make it well-suited for demanding environments like hospitals, restaurants, and food processing facilities.
