Questions and Answers:

1. What makes Everbuild Lead Mate Sealant different from general-purpose sealants?
Everbuild Lead Mate Sealant is specifically formulated for leadwork and roofing applications. Unlike general-purpose sealants, it provides excellent adhesion to lead, brickwork, stone, and other common roofing materials. Its high flexibility accommodates movement in lead joints, reducing the risk of cracking over time. Additionally, it is UV-stable and weatherproof, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor environments, which many general-purpose sealants may not guarantee.

2. Can Everbuild Lead Mate Sealant be used in areas exposed to heavy rain or extreme temperatures?
Yes, this sealant is designed for outdoor use and is both waterproof and weather-resistant. It performs exceptionally well under heavy rain, extreme heat, and freezing temperatures. Its durability makes it ideal for applications where joints need to remain watertight and secure despite harsh environmental conditions.

3. How does Everbuild Lead Mate Sealant enhance the lifespan of leadwork installations?
By creating a flexible, durable seal that adapts to thermal expansion and contraction in lead, the sealant prevents cracks and leaks that could compromise the structure over time. Its strong adhesion ensures the lead stays securely bonded to underlying materials, while its UV resistance protects against degradation from prolonged sun exposure. This combination helps maintain the integrity and appearance of leadwork for years.

4. Is this sealant suitable for non-lead roofing materials, such as synthetic alternatives?
Yes, Everbuild Lead Mate Sealant can be used with many non-lead materials, including synthetic lead alternatives, aluminium, and other roofing materials. Its strong adhesion and flexibility make it a versatile choice for various substrates, though it's always recommended to test adhesion on new materials before full application.

5. What should I consider when storing unused cartridges from the trade box?
To ensure maximum shelf life, store unused cartridges in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Keep the nozzles sealed tightly to prevent the sealant from curing inside the cartridge. Proper storage extends the product's usability for up to 12 months, allowing you to use it across multiple projects without waste.

Do not use in conjunction with bitumen asphalt, neoprene and certain organic elastomers.

Do not use on substrates that bleed oil, solvents or plasticisers use Everbuild Weather Mate
